Coolant leak video

[Darron1117]

Hey guys, here's the video of the coolant leak. Looks like I might have asked a few too many
questions in my quest to find out what's going on with my bike, but here is the video and I
appreciate everyone's help. Law enforcement, I know. This Rocket 3 thing...a complete rookie.

Wow, that's quite a bit, not just a seep, seems it wouldn't be hard to see where it's coming from

 

[Ralsmith]

Looks like it’s coming from thermostat housing area and then running down to elbow hose

There is a bleed screw for at the top of the thermostat housing, maybe check that

Put in florescent dye tracer in the coolant and shine a black light on the running engine.

Yeah, at first it was just dripping from the elbow, but know from bottom of housing.

Thanks, is that from auto parts store?

Thanks, the bleed screw is tight.

Bleed screw might be tight but still leaking if washer is damaged or dirt stuck between mating surfaces. Remember pressure build up when water hot and metals expand
