I have on 08 1125r with 17,000 miles that has now developed a water pump weep out of the weep hole like the clutch had been weeping. Is anyone else having this problem?

My '08 had an update kit to fix this. We call the witness hole the 'wetness hole'

Mine did it after shut down, but has since stopped. It was never much, didn't even drip on the ground.

I don't think that will fix It as I have a 2010 model and the pump has started leaking.

ignore it. It will either stop or the seal will fail completely. If it's not leaking while the motor is running, then I wouldn't bother taking it to a dealer.

So I have some weep on my 08, however more alarming is the fact I have a squeak that seem to be coming from the water pump. It actually kills the motor when the motor is cold but seems to be a non-issue wen the bike gets warm. I think the water pump is on its way out. So what happens when the water pump finally gives out? Am I risking anything by running the bike in this condition?
