This is something I noticed right before I put my bike into winter mode in November. I noticed a couple dribbles of coolant under my bike, wiped them off thought nothing of it.
Now onto December for my winter break from school. Puddle of coolant. I looked around and looked like the water pump was leaking out of the bottom and the big hose that heads towards the front of the engine was leaking. So I got a new hose for it and thought all is well and no drips. I rode a couple weeks ago during the freakishly warm weather. Still dry after I put it back in my garage.
My dad texted me yesterday saying my bike is peeing coolant all over the place. He sent some pics to me and looks like the waterpump seal has a few drips and the HOSE I JUST REPLACED is leaking at each end.

Question time:
Is my bike feeling neglected and showing its anger for not being attended to and getting back at me?

Or do I have a bigger problem?

I did some reading in my manual and it says if the waterpump is leaking then I need to replace the whole thing? Or can I just replace the $2 seal in there?

Anything else I'm missing? What do I get to look forward to spending during my nearing spring break?

Thanks again guys!

 

Nothing crazy about the coolant system. I would just check over the hose, and where it connects on each end to make sure nothing is cracked or bent, and replace the pump seal. While you are at it, id pull the thermostat and check it, and flush the whole system out with distilled water. After that just make sure you tighten the hose clamps sufficiently and you should be good to go.

 

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. I'm not worried about replacing the seals, basic stuff. I just wanted to double check on the "need" to replace the whole stupid pump.

Next obstacle, trying to find a place that sells these parts that doesn't bend you over on shipping. $15-$20 just for shipping things that could fit in an envelope? No way.
