  Pop off the front left fairng and have a looksee everywhere a hose
connects to a fitting via a hose clamp. You may have to feel around with
your fingers a bit to detect coolant leaking past a hose clamp if this
is the problem. If you find a leak at a hose/fitting junction select a
suitable socket and wrench and give her a little snugging. While you've
got the fairing off check all the other hose clamps for tightness. I did.
