Small Coolant Leak

Postby Nitsua98 » Sun Oct 09, 2011 2:38 pm

I walked out today to see a small puddle of coolant underneath my 2004 R50. I poked around inside, and saw very light seepage coming from where the brass tube enters the engine. It doesn't come out while the engine is running. After sitting for a while with the engine off, it will very slowly seep out and drip down.

I'm sure the gasket inside is shot, but does anyone have ideas as to what I can do to stop the dripping until I can take more permanent action?
