hey guys i just was thinking about this the other day and the day i got my quad this tube under the engine on the right side under the water pump after a long ride i use to come back in the garage the next day and saw a drop of water/oil or something on the floor right under this tube... this is the day i got it... i have never saw this tube let anythign out and never lets anything out duiring riding only seems to happen when sitting... my coolant has never left the mark it is at now which is in between H and L.. but i touched the tip of the tube and i notice it was coolant very little.
any idea
has this ever happened to anyone.
i have heard its from the water pump, instead of it going into the tranny oil? it goes out threw there if anything gets by the seal.. now i have also heard that when the engine is warm the seals get tighter and work there best and sometimes when its cold and it sits some coolant might pass during sitting or the firs few minutes of run time unitl everything expans and when the qwuad is sitting cooling....
any truth this this, a good known mechanic told me this.. he also said the small amount of coolant coming out of the tube is nothing of a concern, unless alot is dripping and u have to fill the coolant tank.. also he said alot of people mistake this tube as a , "its there to tell u something is wrong" which is incorrect he said , its there to let excess coolant that goes threw the seal out instead of in ur engine which is a good design and he said that of course it can tell u that the seal is bad when it lets out alot of coolant but not the main prupose.
thanks
