Antifreeze Drip

terbear · 02-16-2008, 05:24 PM

I store my 07 Nomad in a garage that I keep about 50 degrees all winter. Yesterday I loaded it on a trailer and hauled it down to a local shopping mall for a bike show. It was quite cold about 0 degrees, and it was about a 15 minute drive to get there. After we moved the bike into the mall, some antifreeze came dripping out of the tube hanging down near the shift pedal, I assume it is the over flow from the radiator cap.

Question is: why did it do this? I have never seen any antifreeze on my garage floor from it before.

The spot was about the size of a quarter, not a lot, but maybe I am just paranoid ???

Has this happened to any one else?

Perhaps it was some condensation from warm air in the garage and then taking it out into very cold air. After you get it home in the garage you might want to run it for a while and see what it does.

Its most likely just from being jostled around a bit while on the trailer. I wouldn't worry about unless it becomes a regular occurance.

if it does do it reg. then take a look at your rad hose and clamps. My brothers did this and he tightened the clamps just a touch and she stopped. Good Luck
