UPDATE: radiator leak Re: engine oil spraying

Turns out that the radiator has developed a small pinhole leak. The leak only happens when the engine is at operating temperature.

What's the cost for a new radiator?

Can something like this be easily repaired?



So I rode my 1290 SuperDuke today since weather and temperature were great for riding. I did notice that there was some engine oil spray coming from behind the upper left side of the radiator. The coolant hose had some small coating of oil. Not really sure where the open source is coming from. The leak/spray only occurs when I am riding (engine already at temp). There is no leak when the bike has been parked for a while.

I did some mods to the bike which includes the SAS removal, charcoal canister removal, and Motohooligan's airbox.

Has anyone noticed any oil spraying on the coolant hose (behind upper left radiator)?
