Coolant is leaking from both pipes that come out of the block and connect to the rubber y hose that goes to the water pump.  I disconnected the hose when changing the Transmission cover.  I also rotated the pipes that go into the block to get their bracket out of the way when doing the cover change.

Do these pipes seal back up over time from the inside?  I haven't run the bike much as the exhaust is off and I don't want to remount the exhaust until I get the water leak stopped.

I believe there's an O ring at the base of those tubes. If you disturbed them, you'll probably need to replace the O rings.

Yes, pretty sure there are some O rings in there that you will need to replace since you disturbed them.  I have not changed them, but seems that someone mentioned that they are flat one side.

I loosened the tube and reseated the tube in the block on both sides and refastened.  The drip has stopped.  Thanks for the responses.
