Expansion tank (I thought it was that) was empty, unless the fluid used had no colour. It was warm (not hot) and dripping slowly. I've come across one post mentioning similar scenario when due to low level of coolant it was boiling it and dropping it on the ground via breather pipe. Sounds similar. I'll start with replacing the coolant tomorrow (if I'll manage) as I'm doing Mod1 (really soon) and Mod2 (soon) on it, so need it in top notch, wondering how many other 'little issues' it has. It does suffer a slight misfire on low revs, had new plugs (or so they've said) recently, oil levels are good, but might change them as well. There are no belts to change on this bike, right? Will take me some time to get it perfect, but I will get there. Also lights need sorting out - only one side is lit when on, left side's permanently off, same as position bulb - will replace both tomorrow.
BTW - thanks for really quick reply - didn't have as much luck on a different forum with my old XJ600 problems earlier... (hence buying Fazer - Sod's law - sorted the Divvy by now, now this one has issues...) Thanks, really appreciate it.
PS: Will check for leaks in the carbs area - it came from a pipe at the bottom of carbs, will replace all coolant, check level and see if it still drips, as it was standing for a rather long time, maybe some water accumulated somewhere and when it heated up it disposed of it?
