Yes, that is the hose I am looking at. It's definitely next to the oil filter. Can you explain what this hose is for?There is also a 'drain' leading from the waterpump down.... are you sure it is not this hose which is weeping?
Waterpump is on right side of engine towards front. The weep hose runs along the bottom of the pump-housing and down beside the oil-filter.
Same here, my fan has never come on and I have never seen more than 3 bars on the temp gauge. It has been a hot summer here as well. I have never changed the coolant and I would guess it's original. I should probably change it out over the winter.My Wee never goes above 3 bars even on 100+ days running 80mph indicated during my commute.(75miles X 2). Never had the fan come on either so I hope its functional. Just curious Skew have you checked your coolant level?
"dielectric grease" on the connect housings or electrodes?I'd never heard my cooling fan come on in the 12,000 miles I've put on it since I purchased it second hand--then after finally did my valve check at 23.5k miles (and draining/removing the radiator, including disconnecting the fan and fan switch) it has suddenly started operating.
I suspect the fan switch contacts were oxidized enough to not make a good connection or something because I cleaned them and reassembled all connectors I touched with dielectric grease.
It has been in the 100s here lately, but in the past 2 years, this was the first time I'd seen/heard the fan run. And this was after I'd purged the air from the cooling system too.
OK - so it is your waterpump "weep hose" which is dripping. Although I have never had my waterpump off to look at it closely, I suspect this hose drains off antifreeze which sneaks past the waterpump shaft seal. (so it does not get into the oil)Yes, that is the hose I am looking at. It's definitely next to the oil filter. Can you explain what this hose is for?
If you are still under waranty, take it to your shop so there is at least a record of this happening at this time.Sounds like my Wee is a little Hot natured. Should I be concerned? Are there any actions I should take besides checking coolant levels. Does the Wee have a thermostat that I may need to replace to lower temps?
On the terminals of both sides of the connectors. It doesn't take much for it to do the job. This time I got all of the connections on the radiator shroud, the large interconnect in the left-hand side of the faring, the instrument cluster connection, as well as the fan switch on the radiator."dielectric grease" on the connect housings or electrodes?
