Funny deposit on my exhaust
I seem to have a something dripping out of the pipe that leads from the coolant pump, as the pipe from the front cylinder has some nasty deposits on it, and the same stuff from this tube.
It's on the off side of the bike, the little black tube nearest the front of the bike (on a K3) Is this anything to be worried about? Temps. normal, coolant level's normal...... ...But quite worrying! |

Am I being paranoid? It would be really nice if someone would say:

black pipes
think the pipes are fuel breather pipes.

It's not coming from the back two, it's the one at the front in the top picture. This seems to come from the coolant pump.
I'm guessing that 'coz it's there, it's meant to leak, but it's really the first time I've ever noticed it doing it - so I'm worried!! |

Looks a lot like burned-off coolant to me. Not sure where that hose goes, it's probably an overflow from the coolant bottle, but the curvies aren't different so I'mll not say that for sure...

Coolant would be my guess.
Is there any sign of leaking from the lower screw in the water pump? That's the drain. |

I'd say it was burnt off coolant from a leaky pipe/overflow pipe by the look of things.
