I purchased a brand new outlander 850 couple weeks ago. has about 200kms on it. Noticed a dollar size puddle under it when I went out to my shop. I got looking and noticed antifreeze in my weep hole line and it must have dropped out a bit overnight. Took it to the dealer to look at. They had 4 brand new outlanders on the floor and all of them have coolant in the weep hole line. Wondering why this is I always thought it was an indication of a bad seal? So why are all of these brand new bikes like this.
dealer could t give an answer and said there was nothing wrong with mine. I can watch it drip down my line when it’s warming up. What are everybody’s thoughts cause I’m all out of them? Is anybody noticing this also?
thanks

Usually they get better with a few hours on them. If it gets worse then it needs fixed.

I agree with CArancher, some times the seals just need a few hot cycles to seal all the way. Also in the winter the seals shrink due to the cold so if any seal starts leaking in the winter months i always wait till late spring or summer to address it after a few rides.

Perfect thanks for all the info. I called a different dealer today and they said the same thing. It’s normal to lose small amounts of coolant from the weep hole. Just wanted to make sure it’s a bit of a normal thing
thanks
