09 600 etech coolant line

[dragonwannabe]

I have a 2009 600 etech renegade X. Came down to the garage the other day and noticed a pool under the sled. Looked to me like coolant. There is a clear tube that runs from somewhere up under the handlebars (buried). and runs thru the chassi right by the shock body. At first I thought it was the coolant line or overflow line but after taking a closer look Im not so sure. It looks the same as the overflow hose coming out of the top of the coolant tank but followed that hose to the exact same spot on the other side of the sled?? Sled was fine when I put it away this spring and I am down there on a regular basis....so not really sure why it would all of the sudden start leaking?? To be honest I have not taken a close look yet just wanted to post and see what people had to say. Any comments appreciated..
Thanks

Known issue with the crimp on coolant hose fasteners. Dealers replaced with worm clamps on the ones I know of.

Dragon,
I have the 4 Tech but had a similiar event. The clear tube on the righthand front is the vent tube for my chaincase. I have a breather tube and overflow for the gas tank that comes out on the lefthand front. Regardless of the source, if your fluids levels are max'd out and the temps in storage during the summer are high, this may be due to expansion.
