Antifreeze Leak

[Big F]

I have a 2015 Can Am Spyder RT. I just notice a little wet spot under it and found it was just a little antifreeze. Such a small amount it was hard to tell what it was. No where under the frame I could see where it was on or dripped off. I wiped it up clean and notice in about two days there was just a little water or antifreeze again. I removed the plastic under the right side wheel. Got a light up under and found the hose coming from the water pump was wet like it was seeping a little moisture. It has an oetiker hose clamp which cannot be tied. The diameter of the hose looks like it is 1-3/8 inch. I will get a new hose clamp and replace the oetiker with a regular hose clamp that can be tied. Has anyone else ever have theses clamps leak? I was afraid it might have been the water pump but every place was dry except around the hose connection. When I jacked it up where I could get under it I could see if it leaked directly from that hose it would not drip on the frame it would drip directly to the floor so I am pretty sure that is all it is. I never did like the oetiker hose clamps.

I had a very similar experience with my 2014RTL about a year ago. As it was still under warranty I took it to a local Spyder dealer and they fixed the clamp problem.

I just don't care for them type clamps. I am going to replace everyone on my Spyder. Next time I have the plastic off I will change any that I can get to.

I also had a leak on a 2010 RT. As it turns out, I think it was leaking from a hose going into the water pump that had a replacement screw clamp on it that was not tight. I tightened that clamp up and will keep an eye on it to see if any other leaks develop. But it was during a cold snap and I think that had something to do with it too.

Few drops under the vent hose

I have just recently started seeing a few drops that appear to be directly under the bottom of the clear vinyl vent line. I find no leaking clamps and my antifreeze container is not even at the cold mark when cold. I don't know if there is something I'm missing or why this is just now starting to show up. Given all of the other comments I'm going to look very carefully at the clamps I can see. Welcome any of your thoughts.
