Coolant Leak

Hey guys, I have 2004 gsxr 600, and I;ve recently noticed that I have a minor coolant leak

Im not sure where the coolant leaks from, but it collects at the oil pan and drips from there.

I checked the hoses, doesnt seem like anything drips from there

Ive attached a couple pics, just to give an idea, coolant level is very low, it ran fine last season (currently winterized)

Is anyone in Vaughan area who knows his thing, can come and take a look, 6 pack is on me :) . I read that coolant can leak from the engine, there are some spots on the engine itself as well

Check the overflow. See if three is too much fluid in there....if not you'd have to carefully look And try to spot a leak.

You can add a dye to trace the leak as well...or the old school way baby powder...
 
Check the weeping hole at the bottom of your water pump, you may have a leaking water pump seal...
 
cant trace where it is leaking from, maybe it is the water pump, but it only started to leak when I winterized the bike? any idea why, maybe has something to do with colder weather

really need someones help, is any one willing to come by take a look, I cant take it to the shop, want to fix it or at least find out the problem before riding season, so I can save up and take it to the shop when the weather allows

im at dufferin and steeles area

Appreciate the help
 
PM Johnny, he'll make something happen for you...
Worst case scenario, you can rent a U-Haul moto trailer for 15$ and tow it to his shop.

Looking at the pics on the computer now...tells a bit more. Your oil pan has been off at some point, its been RTV'd back into place. Finding the leak shouldn't be a huge issue. Check your PM.

one of the drips you have circled looks more like oil than coolant

I don't think so, looks like thats just transfer of dirt into the coolant as its running down a very dirty/greasy area. Looks too watery to be oil

no its not oil, its the old chain lube, and it is dripping of off it

I took a couple more pics, It looks like its coming from this bolt (take a look at the pic)
can anyone tell me what this bolt is ? i tried tightening it, but it pretty tight as is, doesnt even move
