Hello Rocketeers,
Finally located some evidence of my coolant leak.
Cranked and let it run and warm up and watched the area where the leak
may be and lo and behold it dropped a few drops of coolant from this
location.
The coolant dripped from where the arrow is pointed but the front of this connection is dry.
May have run down behind this fitting?
This leak started after I changed the coolant.
At first, I had loosened the bolt to the left of the bleeder bolt by mistake and some coolant
ran from it as I filled the radiator then realized my mistake, re-tightened it and bled bleeder bolt.
Radiator cap and overflow cap remain dry.
I tightened clamp on the big hose and the bleeder bolt and the bolt I initially loosened are good
and snug, but it leaks every ride and obviously from this location.
Can't stand this leak !!! 20200222_182402[1].jpg

Thanks for your help.
 
To me the small hose clamp looks like it’s to far to end of that elbow connector and how bout a different clamp closer to elbow bend ?
