P1000 Coolant leak

[Johnny5isalive]

Hello! I have been trying to figure this one out. It is right above the oil drain but looks like coolant. I have the infernal heater installed at dealer but it does not look like the hose clamps are leaking. This has left a spot like this every time I ride.
150 miles. Thanks All!!

That sucks….

Looks like ya got 2 choices - look for the leak and correct yourself - or take back to dealer and tell em to fix it right - you did use hard earned money not to have the machine dripping on your nice floor.

Thanks for posting pics - that’s awesome and nice ride.

Put a dab on your finger and taste it, youll know. Im not kidding

I agree - 150 miles = dealer problem. Yep, I would have looked first, but if it wasn't obvious, it would be back on its way to the dealer.

Welcome from Mississippi. Definitely looks like coolant. Rubber hoses will leak cold, make sure the clamps are tight.

I had a leak after I put in my heater but it took months before it started. Mine was a hose clamp that needed a little more. Hope you fine it.

Other than another water pump question about a week ago, those are the only two I've seen anywhere in almost 4 years. Last week's question didn't get an answer IIRC.

you don’t get it - if customer comes in with new machine, the hose clamp that’s hard to get to is loose, may as well swap water pump and get some warranty kickback bucks- lol 😂

@prostreet66mustang started a thread on his water pump failure/replacement -

Talon Water pump

Hello All have not seen any one else post pics of the water pump. Started with a little bit on the trailer when I got home. No big deal. After a couple more rides. Now the shop had a 1/2 cup of coolant under it. Ordered parts as you have to replace the alternator cover as the pump is none...

😀. I had about 4 hours on and off my lift, triple checked all the hose clamps. And I do trust this dealer been good to me, not other dealers but I do this one 😂

The coolant leak comes out by the oil drain. I guess there is a drain hose or a weep hole above that had coolant on it.

Mmmmmm sound like a throw a dart at it and hope to me! Typical FJB mentality for them.

Well water pump was replaced and then there's this..... I drove it for about an hour and put on lift and looked for an hour for any leaks and nothing. Woke up next day and like magic.... coolant. checked ever clamp/hose. Any help?? Losing my mind 😀

Sure it wasn’t residual coolant stuck somewhere after they changed the pump ? Might have vibrated or ran to a place it could drain out while parked ??
