Thanks for the info and tips. sorry not pics at the moment. Mine is still leaking after sitting, from the fat hose with the tighten-able clamp. It is recessed in there and hard to reach. It is dripping after sitting onto the little hose right below it, almost makes it looks like the barbed hose is leaking but its definitely leaking near the screw clamp big hose right above. I idled the engine for a while just now and no leak whatsoever, but overnight it starts to form a drop from yesterday night's ride. Crazy. I have apt tomorrow to have it looked at. Knock on wood they don't keep my bike more than the day.

Ok, it was residuals left in area where the hose clamp squeezes the connecting pipe. No more leak! When I gave it some additional turn on the hose clamp it simple squeezed out the remaining fluid caught underneath the joint, whew. I got to compare to new bike at the dealer this morning and in fact mine were underapplied simply by comparing the squeeze that the new clamps have on the hose. The new ones have painted screw heads on the clamps to signify that they clamped it enough.

Fragile, please post up some pictures as it would help enormously in zeroing in on your problem.
