    So, I've flushed the system through and got rid of the crud, but I've found where the water leak is coming from,
    There's a machined hole in the casing, looking from the Kerb side just behind the starter, just forward and down a little from the exhaust mount in front of the wheel. Sorry bout the description and pic. Bit useless at camera phones! Lol

    Sorry, had to cut my post! Little lad fell over, (he's fine). So any idea what the hole is? Should it be blocked with a bolt or something? It only leaks with the motor running,there's no oil in the expansion tank, but loads of bubbles in the leak!? Any Ideas chaps?

    Need it on the road next week as my truck is getting an mot and suspension lift.

    Well my friend i can tell you that is the vaccum hole entrance, to but it simply for the fuel to be sucked into the carb there must be some sort of pressure to pull it there, there is a vaccum pipe which goes from the control type panel located on the bottom of the fuel tank,you will need to remove either side main fairing to get to this, there for you need to either locate the existing pipe or buy one an run it from the fuel tank all the way to the hole stated.the problem that you will have without this is it either wont start or wont start for long as the fuel is not making it to the combustion process.
