    Spitting Radiator - Ride home or no?

    I noticed some splash marks on my engine from the radiator last week... didn't think much of it - I commute 35mins each way on the motorway and no performance change..

    This morning I notice a drip from the radiator (coolant colour)
    I get to work and notice lots of splashes on the engine and some odd colouring on the radiator..

    What do you think it is, should I check the fluid levels and top up / ride on?

    Don't just top it up and ignore. Could be hoses, connections or the radiator itself. Seems it has got worse quite quickly.

    Find the leak and fix it for peace of mind.

    If you still have to ride, carry coolant / water and watch your fluid like a hawk.

    Don't take the cap off when it's hot... Burny, burny.
