Is everything tight around the thermostat area, it may just be coolant dripping downwards?
I'd still advise a flush though due to the colour of it.

my advice is give all of the engine a good clean with GUNK http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-...er-1-litre or something similar, clean it all up so you have clean areas to see for sure where any leaks are comming from. I say use GUNK as I know you can just wash it off with water after.
wear rubber gloves and clothes you don't mind binning after if you are going to use GUNK as it stinks and the smell will stay on you skin for ages

Bike has a split radiator hose right under the tank, new one has been order but what bloody hard to get hold off, found it with electrical blue tap wrapped around it, clearly the owner before me wanted a quick fix, I'm amazed it's lasted the near 6000 miles with me lol

Wrap it up with something and immediately make sure you top up your coolant levels, then when you get the new pipe do a flush and use fresh coolant.

if your getting a new chain might aswell pay an extra £7.45 for the 12mm sprocket nut
- just doing my chain and guess what it was the original 9mm job and the threads were nearly gone - in fact they were when i tightened it up to hold in place while i move shit around - you might already have the new one on but mine has 90k on the clock and still the original nut so its previous owners have been lucky
