Leaking again

**coacha** · 08-16-2009, 07:27 PM

I had a radiator leak on the way home from Ohio a few weeks ago and thought it was the hose. The old hose had a couple of what I thought were weeper holes. Replaced the hose and nothing for the first couple rides. Thought it was fixed.

Not the case. I still have a leak coming from somewhere. I am thinking maybe a crack in the fitting that the hose is attached to. I am going to take the tank off and look at the top end to make sure it isn't there but the leak looks almost identical to the original one.

Anybody got any ideas on how to fix something in that area of the radiator? I hate to think I have to get a new one.
