New T3 Coolent Leak .......

[skegpro]

Took the New T3 in for its break in service, 500 km service.

Put it back in the trailer after the service and let it sit for two weeks.

Got back from work and going to head out but I noticed a pool of Coolent on the trailer floor.

I am hoping the tech was just toping up the Coolent reservoir and spilt some on the frame and it drained out on my floor.

So what do I check to make sure I am good to go?

Topped up the reservoir and let the sled warm all the way up. No sign of additional leakage and the cap is holding pressure.

I put cardboard down under her to see if she leaks anymore over night.

So I should be good to go right?

How big was the puddle? my XP used to leak coolant upon cooling down if the ambient temp was really cold. Turned out to be the one time use clamps leading to the tunnel coolers under the fuel tank. installed regular screw clamps and good to go.

Ski to ski and about six inch wide.

How did you track down which one was leaking?

Or just start replacing?

Just curious what your dealer charged for the 10hr /500km service mine is due as well

oh wow... doesn't sound like the clamps then. I'd just top of the coolant and warm it up to operating temperature. Could have been a lot of coolant spilled? but, if you warm it up it will pressurize the system and start the leak if there is one.

I suspect just residual, from checking the coolant and popping off the cap and it still had some pressure in the system and spilled over? Or they possibly overfilled it... Once it ran and got a little warm it would push out through the cap and down the hose

My first services check ups are like 140 plus tax 300 seems awful steep
