M-series coolant spray near gas tank outlet

[cmscat50]

So I've got an 06 Crossfire and a 09. I've got about 6 buddies with M's and Crossfires. EVERY one of these sleds spray's just a tiny bit of coolant I'm assuming from the bottle usually on the gas line where it comes out of the tank and on the steering shaft and large aluminum cover over the steering post. My 06 and 09 have different coolant covers so not sure if it's the cover leaking or the little rubber grommet in the side of the bottle.

Anyone else notice this? It's got to be a very random leak because I have over 2000 miles on my 06 and never noticed a coolant level drop. I'm wondering if it only happens with the sled laid on it's side while carving / etc. I keep my stuff clean and it's irritating....though probably only an aesthetic issue?????

If it heats up it will overflow, but my m7 does that also the bottle is warped a little so it leaks some..

I've noticed this on every M series sled I've ever owned from 05 to my 08 and every year inbetween. Just thought it was a common thing from cat and i've never been able to stop it.

I've got an 08 m1 and when I purchased it new it didn't have a hose from the overflow nipple........ looked on the parts list and it didn't show one......... I had the same thing happen once....... put a hose on ran it down near the footwell and out the bottom........ hasn't happened since.
