A little while ago, I posted this about leaking coolant from the water pump.
http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-general-discussion/51977-water-pump-hose-leak.html
After lots of good advice I decided to start off by flushing the system and adding more coolant. The stuff that came out of there was nasty. I don't think it's ever been changed. I rode all weekend with no problems and I'm currently not experiencing a leak from the same area. When I was sitting next to the bike and letting it cycle through, I noticed a liquid spitting out of my exhaust. Mid last year, I noticed these holes in the rear fender and a mark on my tire, but never knew what the problem was. Here's a pic of the fender:
I changed the oil and coolant was not in it, but it is definitely leaking into the exhaust. So I assume a blown head gasket right? If so, that sucks big time. I continued looking online and found some posts about a block sealer called K-Seal. Has anyone used this stuff? I guess you add some to your coolant and fibers seal up the cracks in the gasket. I think I may give it a try, I just want to see if anyone else has used it here. I've read tons of great reviews, though mostly from the UK.
