[CALAIRC]

Hello: does anyone know why my spyder leaks antifreeze through the air box? .. anyone had this problem?

So year and model and milage would be helpful. Also just out of curiosity,how did you discover this?

These are unrelated component systems... the leak must be originating at another point, and ending up at the aiirbox...
Further investigation of this is needed...

And :welcome:

Okay, but the antifreeze comes out of there

I'd bet your reservoir tank is cracked, which was common. As your riding it's leaking out of the pressurized tank and the intake is sucking it in.

Exactly where I landed, too. Why don't you pull the top off the air box and clean all that stuff up. Check your coolant level, check that plastic tank for a crack, and check that the cap on the tank is on correctly. Since the intake ports are directly behind that tank, it's a high probability it's getting sucked in from there.

Ok, I will review what they advise and report the result ... thank you.

Hi CALAIRC,

I had something similar on my '08 last year. Only I found coolant drops on my garage floor.

I would top up the coolant bottle then find coolant leakage when I would stop somewhere.

Once the coolant leaked to below where the crack was, it would no longer leak coolant.

It turned out to be a non-visible vertical crack in the upper 1/3 of my plastic coolant bottle.

I had it replaced and all is well with the world.

let us know if that is the problem or if in the course of that investigation you find something else

If you end up needing a new coolant tank let me know... I have a brand new spare I'll make you a deal on....

Little checking..

Three main places to check...
1. The radiator cap..tighten to the second detent
2. Radiator hose clamp.. the only adjustable one on the spyder
3. The resivouir tank..for any cracks
Any of these will blow back to the airbox snorkels...:thumbup:
