Noticed coolant level keeps dropping, rode sled for 45miles and lost about 6 ounces of coolant. Its not leaking anywhere but I did notice when I took my exhaust apart it seemed to have antifreeze pooled up in it, exhaust doesn't have distinct 2stroke smell either.Would this be a leaking head gasket?

Mechanical seal on water pump would be my best guess had to do one on my dads 03 classic 500 coolant in exhaust entire case was filled

had same thing happed on my 02 600 after a top end rebuild. seemed to get better after new head and base gaskets but then it returned. eventually burned down the motor. never did figure out exactly what happened. I would find out and take care of it sooner than later or you might end up in same boat as I. I never did check my seal on water pump. that would be a good place to look.
