Eric,

I saw a couple of drops of coolant in exactly the same spot near the 
radiator a few weeks back.  Not enough to create a puddle on the floor, in 
fact not enough to even make it to the floor.  The bike had been sitting for 
about three weeks (the longest it's sat since I bought it).  At first I 
thought it was coming from around the fittings on the radiator, but after 
wiping up the drops I couldn't find any cracks.  The only other place it 
could've come from is around the hoses themselves.  The two hose clamps were 
pretty tight, but I gave them about a quarter turn each anyway.  I've ridden 
about 200 miles since then, and I've been checking for leaks but haven't 
found any more.  The bike has not sat for more than a week since I tightned 
the clamps yet, so I guess I'll have to keep an eye on it...  Hope this 
helps...
