Hi All,
I was getting my 2008 F650GS ready to go back on the road and noticed a damp patch beneath the engine and the smell of antifreeze when I started it. On further investigation the coolant level had dropped. After much head scratching I sort of realised it must be coming from the oil coolant heat exchanger somewhere. Gave it a liberal dusting of talcum powder and started it up and ran up to temperature. The leak looks to me if it is coming from the seal where the exchanger mounts on the engine. After a ride of 90 miles the coolant level only dropped slightly. Any advice on where the leak would be coming from would be gratefully received.
