Overheating

[bumper60651]

Spring has finally come and I took my RS on a short ride (40 miles) in 87 degree temps. When I returned and parked in my garage I dumped about 6 oz. of coolant on the floor. I know this because this is how much I put back in. What's up about that? This appears to have come out of the overflow hose and I don't see any splits in the tank itself. I've had this recently serviced and nothing appeared out of the ordinary. Any help would be appreciated.

Ride it again - bring coolant with you... See if it repeats.

I had this happening on and off for a month... Was a loose hose clamp.

I had 2 coolant reservoir replaced and waiting for 3rd and they always leak at seam and only when it's engine is hot and stops leaking when coolant level is below the seam line and none of them had signs of damage. On 2nd and 3rd bad reservoir, I could feel where it was leaking from with my finger.

Other possibility is that your cap was not tightened correctly and that is very very easy to happen.

:dontknow:
Possible that they over filled the tank when it was serviced [filled to the max when cold] Or did not tighten the cap which would also cause coolant to come out the overflow tube,.opcorn:

This is one of the first things to check. Thew cap needs to be tightened to the second detent, or it will puke coolant.
