coolant reservoir leaking

[wyliec]

With the leak in the vertical seam duct taped, shouldn't I be able to go 30 miles to the dealer? I plan on filling the reservoir to about a 1/2" above the horizontal seam. If need be, I can get it flat bedded under the BEST roadside assistance. I'm just a little impatient and don't feel like waiting.

I know I could probably replace the reservoir cheaper without using the BEST warranty ($50 deduct); but, I have a good dealer and I'll do my part to keep his tech busy.

I rode further than that with my leak, and it was ok. but it will tell you, just don't do it in stop and go traffic.

Some dealers don't charge the $50 deductible..... mine doesn't.....
