I know that car water pumps have a weep hole like that. When it leaks, you know the pump seals are bad.

That's what I think it is too.

You should tell your bike to hold it in.

I've never seen a weep hole leak that bad. Now Tigger's ex's weep hole sure did leak. Maybe if we can get a hold of her, she can tell us how she keeps it in.

If it's pissing that bad there's a bad seal AND something is clogging things up in there and causing back pressure. Not gonna know until you take the pump housing off and peer inside. Last time I saw something like that, part of the impeller had broken off and wedged itself into the outlet channel....

Cool - that way the thing will overheat and take out a head gasket and then you will have a REAL excuse to tear the motor apart
