Coolant leak )-;

This F4i has about 12k miles on it. I've never had any problems with it (the downed scratches are from a previous owner). This just started recently and after I replaced my oil pan. I can't see how that would cause a coolant leak tho. It's definitely not oil because it's green. Any thoughts on where this coolant is coming from? It only seems to leak very slightly after being ridden. Please see pic. Thanks for any help.

If you have too much coolant it will overflow onto the ground. Like a car, or it could be your air conditioner too. lol

I've never added any coolant to this bike. . .it never looked low. So I don't know why all of a sudden I would have too much coolant.

It's definitely not coming from the overflow hose. The leak is more foreward than where the hose hangs.

I've noticed from time to time either of my bikes might have a drop of coolant or two at the bottom of the over flow hose. Bought both bikes new, never done any work with the coolant.

Installed an SAE cable on the F4i last night and I noticed the coolant tank level was flush with the lower lever.
