Yep. Did that this arvo. I'll get it up to pressure tomorrow and see if that has solved the problem.

My R3R had very slight drip from the water pump from new, the water pump was replaced under warranty. If I recall correctly I think there is a oring on the shaft where the pump goes into the motor, your problem may the oring. I had a look in the manual and there is an oring.
Hope that helps you.

Just coolant. I'll be able to have a closer look at where on the pump the leak is when it gets light. It was too dark last night when I discovered it.
