Default coolant leaking from hose, is this normal

hey guys, just noticed a little spot of green coolant on the ground today under my bike. it seems to be coming from one of the hoses at the bottom of the fairings. is this something i need to worry about since its hosed and not just leaking from a suspicious spot? also i have not changed the fluid any time soon so it cant be overflow i dont guess.

Your bike should not leak coolant at all. Unless you are overheating and overcoming the pressure on the radiator cap. Have it checked out. To clarify this is from one of the 2-3 hoses that come out right in front of the shift lever right? Or is it a leaky hose with a hole?

Its green coolant from the little radiator overflow tank. The tank you use to top off your coolant. Probably nothing to worry about if your coolant level stays correct and you are not overheating while in motion. Ill notice the equiv of about 4 drops several times a year. The other two hoses threading thru your left lower cowling is gas vent and gas overflow (Im think).
