Rtv-x900

Have someone jump up and down in the bed, maybe you can see something then. Does the liquid feel oily?

Somewhat oily yes. I'm going to watch it this over the weekend then return it for the dealer to look it over if nothing shows up over the weekend.

I think I found the leak culprit! In the picture you will see a tube that is dead headed with a shutoff at the end directly behind the driver. This shutoff was barely cracked open and under pressure allowing antifreeze the run out. Must be for an accessory I assume. But now the throttle cable seems to be broken. Sorry the picture seems to be sideways.

The "shutoff" is an air bleeder. Just leave it in the "closed" position. The manual tells you what it's for, but it's mostly for bleeding air out of the cooling system for filling.

Re: Rtv-900x

I think the warning you have in mind is from the spray cans of tire sealant. The propellant in the can get in the tire and may cause grief. But that propellant has probably been changed by govt. regulations by now!

Fix a flat (the stuff in cans) used to be highly flammable-explosive to an extent. The propellant used in the cans was at one time PROPANE, or a mix of it. I don't know that they're using now. I want to say CO2 but I am not positive.

Any aerosol can potentially be flammable--you never know what they're using for the propellant unless you have an MSDS for it, or the contents on the can says "flammable".

Yes I did see a guy get burned pretty bad from fix-a-flat.

Thanks lugbolt!
Are there anyone with past experience with the throttle cable? Any hints or advice for fixing this problem? Level of difficulty?

Antifreeze is what I suspect too.....radiator, recovery bottle with overflow tube all in the front. While I had tire off started it in the garage and let it run 15-20 minutes to get the temperature up and nothing...didn't see any leaks. Scratching my head!

You will find there is also a radiator next to the battery. Your RTV has two radiators.
