I am occasionally getting a couple drops of coolant dripping out of the weep hole on the bottom of the water pump. It does not happen all the time, about every other ride and only 2-4 drops (I can see evidence on the frame). I assume this is not correct and indicates a bad seal but it's a brand new bike (less than 30 hrs). Any thoughts on this ?

 

all raptors drip fluid out off the hole on the bottom of water pump. Mine does it about three other guy i know say the same thing and my causins DS650 does it too.So dont warry to much.

 

So the weep hole on the bottom is not for the same purpose as on an automobile water pump ?? The automotive version is to let you know that the bearings /seal is shot and that you'll be getting coolant entering your case through the impeller shaft mixing with your motor oil soon. Am I mistaken on this ?
