are you talking about the vent/drain hole that goes into where the spark plug is at.

No Sir, on the side of the head. Where the headear pipe wraps around on the side, just above that. Maybe a visual would be better. Do you see that little whole just above the header?? Thats where its coming from.

thats just a draint hole for where the sparkplug goes into the head. pull the sparkplug boot off the plug, and blow air through the hole and it will come out the top of the head. the only way thatthat can have coolant coming out that hole is to have a crack in the head i think. how much is coming out of the hole.

Not much, just a little where i could notice it.
Are you sure it's coolan't, and not just water from washing the quad?

Im pretty sure. i didn't wash it and it was dry where i rode it.
did anyone ever figure out what this problem was? i have the same thing happening
that's just water, that's the hole you use to clean our around your spark plug so you don't get debris in you motor when you pull the plug, if its coolant then you got a badly cracked head, just taste it to see if it taste sweet "don't swallow it", that's how us ******** check to see if its coolant the easy way.
