Water pump weep oil leak?

Water pump weep hole dripping coolant while bike on stand after very hot day. Bike not started. Any one else had this.

Drip not from radiator over flow tube but from weep hole.

Pressure test the system with a few psi..wait is it coolant or oil coming out...

you need a new pair of w/p seals to be sure and if your cam bearings are old I would replace them as well so the cam runs a tight - true line.

Okay thanks. I'll check it out and let you know. I see what you mean about the bearings.

Order both seals, o-rings, and bearings...check the cam for wear on the seal face also
