In the course of trying to find my top end oil leak I quite accidenatlly spotted a miniscule coolant leak. For quite a while, I've had a suspicion it's been losing a very, very small amount of coolant over a period of weeks.

With the air intake pipe to the filter box removed from the slam rail, the RH top radiator hose spigot is visible and hey presto -- a minute trail of coolant. Not from the hose; not from the bleed screw seal, but apparently from the plastic welded joint between the flat top of the spigot and the lower section.

I'm thinking dried, cleaned, roughed up a little and out with the plastic metal. It should be almost a treat to do.

Mike.
