As the title reads. Why would antifreeze be leaking from my stator cover? I could see a little oil maybe but should there be anti freeze there? Why?

remember the water pump is right beside it w/ all that foam on the inside of the fairing. clean the area w/out the fairing on and make sure the water pump aint leaking. the one lower hose rests againts the fairing foam so the antifreeze can travel quite a bit through the foam.

Its definetly coming from the stator. I Have a separate leak from water pump that is a whole other issue

The only thing on the other side of that cover is oil, man - at least that's all there SHOULD be. If there was that much anti-freeze coming into the crankcase as a result of another failure, it would be evident in the oil level sight glass.

Thanks for the replys, I was hoping someone could tell me what malfunction caused this? I was thinking head gasket or possibly the head? I know if you get antifreeze in your oil in a car it is a sign of blown headgasket or warped head. Symtoms are usually lots of white smoke from exhaust. Which I don't have from my pipe..

What about the oil in the sight glass? Does it have a milky appearance? Something doesn't sound right - for you to see clean anti-freeze coming out of the stator cover, it would mean there's nothing IN there but anti-freeze..........I don't get it.

I grabbed a flashlight and had a closer look after running it again. I think the antifreeze leak is coming from thermostat housing and running down to stator cover. Dropped oil and I'm not sure if its me being paranoid but it looks mily too me. See my other post for pic
