Coolant leaks can travel along strange, circuitous routes. I'm glad you solved the mystery leak, Bob.

As the owner of a BSA 250 and a Lambretta TV175 in my youth growing up in England, leaks were a way of life. Since moving to the States and owning multiple Japanese bikes, those days seem so far behind me. My RX-3 may leak, but I know that if I tighten something, the leak will stop. Wish I could have said that 50 years ago.

I guess sometime in the 80s or later they caught onto the idea a gaskets that actually sealed and were made out of materials that didn't dissolve in oil or gas. Apart from this one annoying drip, the RX3 has been very good. When I started it up after its winter hibernation (about 3 months here in Maine) it fired right up at the first touch of the starter. |
