Hi All

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying riding my GTS! I've put over 750 miles on it since last weekend!

It now drips a few drops of coolant under the left side floorboard when parked. There are some "gills" on the underside and after sitting for a few hours, it drips from there.

I haven't taken anything apart yet. Any tips or tricks? Thanks in advance!

Since there is a radiator with the fan on the left side, you need to remove the leg shield and see what is going on

I think there's a hose union under the left floorboard, and it's common to leak after time.

Needs the floorboard removed and hose clamps replaced.

The glovebox comes off reasonably easily to give you great access. Check youtube for videos of the process.

Here's a thread that shows what I was thinking:
I sprung a curious leak (Coolant!!)

Let us know what happens!

That's PERFECT. It's the same exact leak as that thread. I'm very close to needing the 9k service, so I'll tackle it all together....
