How worried should I be?

Corey · Dec 26, 2016

I got home from a few weeks away and found this under my bike. It's been -30C for about 2 weeks while I was in Texas. I am far from a mechanic but if I had to guess it's from the seal where the water pump is? But I have no idea....can you weigh in please.
It's a 2008 with 5300mi on odometer.

It's not a clamp or hose. But liquid on bottom

If you have a bike jack get it up in he air so that you can check firm where the a/f is leaking from.on my 13' the w/p was seeping from the weep hole.

Might just need to tighten up the 3 water pump bolts, give the hose clamps a pinch too

Thanks. I'll try that before I spend the money at the shop.
I was gonna replace the tires this year too. Don't need new ones but I heard that 10 years is time?

The water pump failed on my 2011 R3T at 30,000Klms, only spat out coolant after stopping and cooling off, beware in OZ there was only 2 pumps in the country and expensive as well
