Not a obvious place but worth looking into. Have not seen any mention of it so may be more out there just not noticed.... thanks for the heads up...

yep, looks like the same leak I had on the F3. Replacement if under warranty. If not just watch the coolant level

I noticed a small coolant leak on the floor of the garage while moving the bike last week. I bet it is coming from this same area. thank you for the info and pictures!

Appreciate the heads up. The 1330 is an awesome engine, but there will be some issues start showing up. Looks like this is one we all will need to look for.

I just made an appointment for a coolant leak on my '14 RTL. Had a big puddle under the right side behind the a-frame.

Leak
Thanks for the post and pics. My '15 RT-S SS has had a small puddle on the floor AFTER only short movement. Maybe one in the same. I haven't seen any puddles after longer rides but when it is at the dealer, I'll have that checked. This is a great avenue to garner info on all aspects of the Spyder...THANKS!

Who ever have the same issue it should be address to BRP and they should take care of it. Loose bolt is a production fault and must be dealt with in a professional way.

I am hopeful that the bolt that I tightened may have fixed it. Drove 55 miles today and checked after the ride and no coolant leak in that area. The bolt was only loose by 3/4 of a turn.

Guess if it continues, it will have to go back to the dealer as it is in warranty. Anyone seen this before and what the issue is?

Took my Spyder to the dealer this morning. Leaking in the same area. Have a new water pump on order. Hopefully be in Friday so I can get "27" back on Saturday. Glad for warranty. Also glad it happened over the winter and not during nice weather or during a trip.

When you tighten the bolts, are you puling the bolt all the way out then adding something like loctite threadlocker, then retorquing the bolt?

Jerry,
It is under warranty so just gave the bolt some tightening. If it leaks again it is going back to the dealer under warranty.

Thanks...
Now I need to take a look at my '15 RTS, noticed a wet spot on the shop floor and thought it was from the car. Maybe it's going in for the 3000 mi service sooner then later.
