Leaking anti-freeze on cold short start ups

Ok guys does this make sense.
On a 2009 800R when I start it up cold for short periods like loading it on the deck or bring in to the garage. Often I find anti-freeze on the ground.
What is with that?

It was happening to me but it was only coolant coming out of the overflow tube. But I have heard some guys saying that there is a tee behing the airbox that leaks. Thats all I have hope it helps.
 
I just took mine in for many issues of which one was the leaking anti-freeze. they said it was leaking from a tee in the line behind the air box. I think it was simply a hose clamp or something.
