Check the reservoir tank to make sure it's not broken or cracked
check the metal clamps on the hoses. My leak was due to the clamp bring loose. A few turns and all was well.
If you ryde like there's no tomorrow, there won't be any

coolant leak
2011 RTs not RS but same engine set-up. Just had mine fixed yesterday. Same symptoms. No visible leak when riding but let it sit and a puddle of antifreeze under the center of the bike. All hose connections were good. It was the water pump seal. Dealer replaced seal and said I was good to go.

I would check the coolant overflow tank.. My is cracked and is going to be replaced. The tank is about 70.00 on BRP website but you might me able to check e-bay or amazon. If you remove the right side plastic and the cover for fuse box under the frunk you can see if the tank is crack. Mine crack on the backside of the tank in front of the air box intake. Good luck and its not that hard to replace..

Dealer told me this was a known issue, said as soon as you see any oil or antifreeze get it done. Mine was done last year.

Here's what you do..!!
go to cheapcycleparts.com and check the price. I get my parts there or ebay and amazon..!! if they have a better deal cancel your order with the dealer or have them match the price...
