Please Describe these 3 pictures (possible leaks)
*edit: The 2nd and 3rd picture somehow got reversed.
Description of the first pic: The black on tiop of the picture is the plastic molding (shows the Gear 6,5,4....) and the metal rod at the bottom of the screen (goes diagnol from SW to NW) is part of the shifter.
Question 1:in that picture there is a bolt, right underneath that boltyou can seefluid dripping (doesn't seem to much as for there isn't a puddle of it underneath the bike). Would it appear something serious and or what fluid could this be?
Description of the second pic: it's the water pump.
Question 2: that bolt is the bottom bolt connected to the water-pump housing. Is this something severe enough that I should replace or as long as I keep an eye on the fluid lvl I should be ok?
Description of the third pic: It's right below the gas tank, right behind the left fairing (knee high if sitting on the bike).
Question 3: What is this? What does it do? Any information would be great
Thanks for taking the time to read this and help me out!

RE: Please Describe these 3 pictures (possible leaks)
alright, your first pic looks like oil? but very hard to tell from the pic. clean it up with some degreaser and see where its coming from.
the second pic with the waterpump, that bottom screw is the water pump drain screw. It is seepingnothing to lose a ton of sleep over, except the fact that coolant is slick as ice and you dont want it on blowing back on your tire, or rolling through a puddle. the fix is simple, you need a $0.10 copper crush washer behind that screw. but when you pull it out, youll drain the coolant from your bike. You should probably flush the old coolant anyways.
the 3rd pic of the **** is your idle adjustment screw. you turn that to increase or decrease your idle.
