There's a radiator overflow tube under the bike on the left side.

I had this problem. A puddle would appear, presumably when the bike cooled down.

It was caused by vapor lock - bad radiator cap. Put on a new one and no more problems.

Robbie, Tighten all hose clamps a bit and give the "ol college try" and see if you can spot the source of the leak. If the cap is leaking it should be easy to see.....good luck!
