Default Grizzly heats up under the seat/ Gear Shifter housing

My 2003 is starting to get hot in the seat area. Is there anything that you have done or can do to help stop this. Someone stated one time about a fix for this (recall or something). 2nd I have never noticed this but yesterday I was cleaning the grizzly and knock off the small hose under the gear shifter housing and fliud came out. I did not think there was fluid was in there. Is there fluid in that housing or is the just water from washing it?

You can cut slits in the plastic side panels to let the heat out. Are you sure the small hose isn't the one for the coolant overflow tank?. If it is, yes, it may have fluid it it.

the hose is located right on the bottom of the shifter **** housing and has a small plug in the bottom of it. I have alwayed noticed it there but really did not think much about it. I was checking something and I knocked it off and water or some kind of fluid came out of it. Any way it is on the bottom of the house where you change gears.

That is what G660 do. And some 700 . OVERHEAT.
Solution...class action lawsuit, so they will finally redesign their cooling system.
