Radiator Leak


I seem to have developed a leak coming from the right side of the radiator over the past couple of weeks. It's a super fast green and silver '06 1600.

My bike has been stored in an unheated garage, that never gets below freezing inside, since November 1st. I don't remember seeing any leaks or fluids of any kind on the ground until yesterday when I went down to debate whether or not I wanted to take her out for the first time this year. I will assume (I know, I know) the leak is a recent development.

What I found is about a tablespoon worth of coolant on the ground, dead center under the radiator. The bottom right side of the radiator is wet, the left side is dry. It seems as though the leak might be coming from a seam(?) or a hose (?) on the right, runs down the bottom, hits the center bolt and drops to the ground.

Any idea where it would be coming from or why it would occur now? I'm pretty confident it hasn't been happening over the winter, only within the last week or two.

Thanks,

Russ
