• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Leaking Coolant When Engine is Cold

My 2010 RT has about 4500 miles. Recently, I found that it leaks a small amount of coolant even when it has sat for a week in the garage without being driven. I had it checked at the dealership and they told me the problem was resolved. However, after awhile, it started leaking again. Has anyone experienced this problem before and, if so, how was it resolved? I would appreciate any feedback.

Very common problem early on with Spyders, And a very easy fix .Usually one of the clamps on the radiator hose was lose, It's the only Worm type clamp on the hose, It can be tighten with out removing any panels with a screwdriver'.
The clamp is at the lower right side next to the radiator.
 
You can check the easy things yourself, worm gear hose clamp tight, and coolant tank cap turned to second detent. Beyond that, I'd tell the dealer to try again. There are several possible causes.

Thanks...I tightened both clamps and they did appear to be lose. Hopefully, that was the problem.
 
Just got back from Daytona Beach Biketoberfest, checked all the fluids and noticed the coolant was down slightly. Took off the side panels and sure enough there was a little green stain where the hose connects to the thermostat. You might asked the dealer if they remember or have service records and look there again, coolant will usually stain if it leaks there over time.
