Jack, Chris is likely on the right track. Many of us have had the o-rings leak on the water manifold tube and was covered extensively on previous posts. Most end up on the left side of the bike c/o we leave it tipped over on the sidestand. If yours is on the centerstand, this is the most likely reason for the drips. it drips when the o-ring cools and shrinks/dries out, so most of us see it during the winter lay-up. I got the rings to do the repair over a year ago but it just doesn't seem to get any worse than a few drips, so i haven't done the repair. Looks difficult to me if you remove the radiator but someone posted it can be done without removing it! you should find stuff on this repair on the FAQ's or some better mechanic than me will chime in. Keep us informed.
