My 2003 volusia has a very slow coolant leak and since it is only a drop or two a day I can't pinpoint where it is coming from. It is dripping from just in front of the coolant reservoir but the hose clamps and tubing that run from the reservoir seem to be fine. I can't feel or see any moisture around any of the hoses but I don't want to lose my coolant when I'm headed down the road.

1/Try using high coolant concentration even pure coolant without water mixture for a couple of days up to 2 weeks, see if you can see any coolant droplets forming around your reservoir wall or leaky area, OR,
2/Take off your coolant, fill it with colored water, cap it and pressurize with a hand pump, this may show the leakage but be careful do not put more than 5-7 psi, OR,
3/ Buy Rad leak stopper from automotive store, add to coolant reservoir proportionately, use bike as normal and everyday in the next 2-5 days keep checks if it still leaks. I doubt it will leak.
Good luck to try. If good enough go for it.

2003 kia sorento leaking antifreeze after new radiator

You will want to taste the leak (or get someone else to do so) and make sure it is not water.
Antifreeze has a very sweet taste.
You should only need one drop, and be sure to rinse your mouth out really well afterwards.
Whenever a radiator is replaced, the hoses attached to it can also begin to leak, because the rubber hardens with age, and can be harder to seal again.
I prefer a stainless steel band clamp, not the original equipment.
A good flashlight would be a help as you look for the problem.
Be sure to check the heater hoses, and the other hoses that carry coolant, as any of them could be leaking, due to "being disturbed" or due to the possible higher pressure the new radiator is giving the cooling system.
Be blessed.

Coolant leak 3.4 toyota

There is water from condensation from the a/c system that will drip onto your exhaust manifold when you turn the engine off after running the a/c for a while. Check coolant level daily when your engine is cold and if it isn't dropping then it is just the water from the cold a/c.

Coolant leak top rear of engine near throttle body 1996 3.4 lumina vpv

Most of the time when I see coolant leaking at the rear/top of the 3400 engine, beneath the throttle plate area, it's usually coming from the intake gaskets. There is a coolant cross-over passage at the rear of both heads and as time passes the gasket will sometimes split along the sides of this passage and coolant will begin to leak out. It can be tough to see clearly whats going on in this area well enough to pinpoint the exact source of the leak so it may take a bit of time to find it. Often with an intake gasket leak the coolant will puddle on top of the block then drip down the rear side of the engine and drip off of the pan or transmission bell housing. Hope this helps you find your problem!

2003 golf tdi oil problem

If you have recently had work done on the vehicle, and it was oil related, i would take it to the car wash and clean the underside of it really good, this way you can trace where the oil is coming from, that way you can pinpoint the drips.
