Ah, now I understand. You can buy an elbow joint made of rubber from a hardware store to fix the problem, I would think.
Sounds like your baby needs plenty of work, and if she's your only transport it may be worth spending a little time on her.......
Best of luck Steffen.......

 

Well, no doubt it's a Honda, if it were a Kawasaki I'm sure it would be long gone! hehe
Now seriously, I had the same problem when I bought the bike. It was leaking from that plastic (or fiber) joint:



While I waited to receive the ordered part, fixed it with a strong, heat resistant glue, and it worked for some weeks without any leaks until I've replaced it with the new part. This is how it looked when I got it out:

 

Thanks for that insight Daniel - I've got a "weep" at the same joint - been keeping a eye on it but now I know what 'im in for. Can you see any reason for the failure?

 

its actually an aluminum barb on the side of the engine that has two bolts and an o ring gasket. Then the line from it runs from it all the way to the water neck i think. Is there anyone parting out a bike or has one of these laying around? Thanks

Is the last pic the elbow that is cracked? It's metal, right? If it is, you can easily fix it with JB Weld. It costs less than $10 and it can hold up to soem heavy abuse. Do that untill you get a replacement elbow. You can use JB weld to try fixing the covers too.

I gotta tell ya dude...thats' one Mad Max looking machine you got there!

Here's what it looks like and a ling ot a simpel gogole search on it:
