About a month ago I flushed and filled my radiator with the Prestone "Extended Life" coolant that supposedly is made for any vehicle known to mankind.

Well about 2 days later I noticed an oil leak coming out the bottom weep hole. Crap!!!

Well I did some searching on this fine site and lo and behold I find certain coolants cause leaks and/or water pump failures.

I thought I was going to have to yank the water pump and put a new oil seal......

So just for the heck of it, I decided to take one of you guys' advice and purchase a bottle of the Texaco/ Havoline at my local Wally Mart and do another flush and fill. You know what? It's been over a week and no leak!! (knock on head)

But how would this happen?:baffled:

News Flash!

I new it was too good to be true:X:X:X

The leak is back.

Does this mean it's time for a seal kit for the W.P.?:doh:

If so, where'd you guys get 'em?

Thanks

O:k,
with 28,000 miles on the clock, would you guys suggest just the seal kit, or doing the whole pump.

I've never had any issues with it running hot on me.
Even though the bike is 28 years old....:clapper:

Thanks,
