Hey guy's

Since it's been getting hotter, I've noticed a lot of fluid leaking from what I assume is the fuel tank overflow hose at the bottom left of the bike. The funny thing is the fluid only veeeery faintly smells of gas. It's clear, almost like a small amount of gas mixed with water. It does stain my driveway like oil, too thin to be oil though. I don't think it's coolant, I could be wrong though.....I often am It only really started doing this alot since after I crashed.

Issue? Non-Issue? What say the experts.

Have you been leaving the bike out in the rain?

I leave it out every once in a awhile. It's the only way it gets clean j/k. Could that just be rain draining from the fuel bezel?

I've been having a coolant leak off and on (only after a spirited ride) but it only leaked while the bike was hott and the coolant was moving (so I think I have a bad thermo). BUT there was a couple of days that my garage got filled with a gas odor and sure enough, it was right underneath the SHawk. I couldn't quite find where it was coming from but I shut the petcock off and left it for a few weeks (was in the process of moving). I tore the petcock down and cleaned it up real pretty like then re installed her. Haven't had a problem yet!
