cheers for responding Darrsi, it may have been rad seal, not sure. I didn't think of checking the oil window for water... I'll do that in the morning when I have some light to work with!
It wasn't raining when I was coming home so I did try and trace back but couldn't really find anywhere, which makes me think... as it was down the right hand side of the engine and its not the thermostat housing maybe it was the radiator cap springing open when the pressure got too high and pissing coolant all over the right side of the engine. Does it have a spring loaded cap? I know some cars do, but not sure about the bike...
Good point re all the crap being loosened, I'll try to give the engine a run with the cap off and see what happens, failing that I think I'm stuck with having to change the head gasket as its deffos not an obvious cooling system leak, unless anyone can think of anything else I should try.
I might have the head off tomorrow for skimming this week to re-fit next weekend, is there anything else I should do while the head is off? Cam Chain for example?
Thanks
