Since I have everything off.....again, I figured I might as well cancel my ride for tomorrow and flush the cooling system.Most coolants today have a bit of UV dye in them. With a UV lamp (a few dollars on AliExpress) in an otherwise dark garage you can see exactly where the leak comes from.
I would not freak out about a small leak though. In any case it's normal that a few air pockets remain after a coolant flush so for the first few start/stop (hot/cold) cycles the coolant level in the reservoir will drop anyway. So keep an eye on it. If it keeps dropping after that, that's early enough to start worrying.
