I took my radiator left side panel and radiator cap off to take off the plastic frame panel to look at wires under gas tank then I reinstalled the parts. Now I have antifreeze leaking from radiator. Maybe I twisted cap too hard or pulled too hard on something. Anybody have any idea's? I am going to shop now to take covers off radiator to see if I can find leak. I need advice from members who have experienced simular problem.

Check where the bolts attache to the radiator, you may have put longer bolts in and pieced the tank.
I took off trim, raised tank, and noticed that the top radiator hose was leaking. I loosened hose, pushed it up and tightned clamp. Seems to have fixed problem. Guess it was coincidence to have started leaking when I took off trim and cap previously.

The radiator cap seal may not have reseated itself properly... remove the cap, check the seal for folds, tears, debris or degradation and give then give it another go!
