Blue fluid

[benorado]

I brought my 650 back from the dealer after my 10k kilometer service, and the next morning I found a spot of blue oily fluid on the ground on the left side of the scooter after I came back from a ride, so I didn't have a chance to look at where it may have fallen from.

Engine oil is brown, and is up to full. Brake fluid is light brown/dark yellow and appears fine. It's an oil, not something as thin as coolant.

Do they lube the center and side stands with blue oil? I'd say there was about a half of a teaspoon on the ground. Thanks all in advance!

I found coolant under my scooter twice the first time I did not know what it was the second time I touched it and smelled it.

Sounds like Loctite to me. If it was just one small drop under my bike, that;s what I'd assume and then just monitor the situation. Half a teaspoon is definitely NOT loctite though.

ive had coolant out of mine too, only after it was laid up but that was the right hand side from the pump. sounds like loctite to me? can't think why though.

Fair enough, not there this morning so there's no "leak" per se. Thanks everyone!

Easy to see if it's Loctite, smear a bit of it on a bolt and screw a nut on over the stuff. Next day if the nut isn't easy to unscrew it's Loctite. Otherwise it could well be blue coolant. There are several brands of blue colored coolant on the market. Makes sense too because a little sloppiness in installing new fluid could allow some to be trapped on the engine that might drip off later.
