Coolant leak

[Boony]

I had a look and couldn't find this covered before.
My bike is leaking radiator fluid from the connector behind the lower left radiator hose.
I have disconnected the hose.

I tried gently twisting the elbow. It is either very tight or is pressed into the engine.
Can it be removed and repaired or replaced?
If not, any ideas to stop it leaking?
Thanks for any help.

You're right about never hearing about this one before. Are you sure it isn't the hose connection right above it. Mine was leaking this spring. Had to snug up the clamp and all was good.

That's what I thought it was. Definitely not from either hose. I can see it seeping from the point of the arrow in the picture. The elbow joint does not move at all. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Well that's a bugger. The fitting appears to be replaceable. Found it on Bike Bandit's website. Looks like it is number 6 and is called a spigot.... Take a look. Looks like a press fit.

Thanks for that. I will order it before I remove the old one. Looking at it might help me work out how to remove the old one.

I have the coolant leaking from two different spots can’t figure out how start dismantling the parts to know where is it coming from….one spot is from top of the engine behind the oil filling area, the second spot is where the radiator is….i see a drop of coolant in the floor right under the radiator…..

the coolant leak is when bike standing for two weeks as well so it doesn’t matter if it was started and warmed up…or not

Maybe spray it with some penetrating oil as you wait for the new part
