little leak???

[Mooserut]

Did anyone of you ever experienced a little leak of coolant liquid on top of the carburator just under the coolant valve???

Yep, I had one on my 06 pro, not a lot but never the less a leak. I took off the stainless top plate that has the two screws and pulled out the valve and cleaned up the o ring, inspected it and reinstalled with a little petroleum jelly, no more leak 15,000 kms later. has to be done cold of course! best of luck!

great fix. mine just had a major leak. valve was very hard to turn. I think o ring was out of place. popped it apart, new o ring and lube. all good now... thanks for the fix
