Hi,
Merry Christmas to everyone! I have posted before about my trials and tribulations and now I'm on my 2nd new machine. So yesterday afternoon I cleared snow from my driveway. Parked the kodi in the garage. Come out this am and do pre ride check and I find a oil spot under the vehicle. Now I am thinking W.T.F. Yamaha after going through all the B.S. with my other machine. I pull the center skid plate to find out where the oil is coming from. It seems to be leaking from the bolt that holds the hose clamp/hose hanger coming from the bottom of the water pump. It also looks like it is a bolt that holds the case together? Also is that hose just supposed to be loose? When I pulled the skid plate, there was a couple small drips of radiator fluid that came out of the hose. Oil level is normal.
Does anyone have any torque specs on those bolts? The heads are 8mm. I don't want to go cranking the crap out of them to see if it will stop the leak. If torquing it to spec doesn't stop the leak, does anyone have any suggestions before I go hauling this P.O.S. back into the dealership? Cracked block?? Hopefully not!! Only 6 miles on this one, the first one made it 9 miles before I had issues!!! Thanks!!
