My bike started to leak coolant from near the headers.... Any thoughts on why or where it's actually coming from? and... can I fix it myself? It has never leaked before and today just started dripping and it was not a small amount.. It's not even hot out. Bike was around 200 degrees and I had just driven for like 20 minutes to go get food. The videos are from when I got home. Also, There was some coolant in the coolant reservoir before today but it was low so I was going to do a coolant change soon but hadn't gotten around to it

So I just called the dealership and explained what is wrong with the bike. That an o-ring for the water pump that is behind the headers has failed/cracked.
My warranty is good for another year but they say they don't cover anything considered a wearable.
I would say that this is NOT considered a wearable as I don't think It was ever intended for us to change out this O-ring, which is evidenced by the fact that the original o-ring has been replaced on the newer versions of the bike and also since it is not mentioned in the owner's manual under the maintenance intervals section.
The guy is giving me shit, saying he will need to see the bike in order to figure out whats wrong with it and to say wether the warranty will cover it or not. I told him there is no "figuring out" anything as I know exactly what is wrong with it. He is going to call me back but What are your guys' thoughts on this? AM I right?
UPDATE: Called the extended warranty company and they said this is covered. Really happy about this since I really felt the warranty I'd bought was absolutely useless.

Good that the warranty company backed ya up. Stealerships don’t like warranty work because they don’t get paid as well as private party.
