I've just noticed a small amount of coolant coming from the tiny hole on the bottom of the right side casing. If it is a failed o ring can I: use any that fit 52x2-56x2 dimensions and will withstand 240-280 degrees + oil resistance?

if parts book lists size probably ok but do not use a made one that is glued together
access via right side of engine after fix new oil and about 250 miles later again to make sure
you got water out of the oil
may not be the o rings but the seal in the pump shaft which is replace pump most likely

The bike is virtually new so I can't understand the failure . How do I tell if it the seal and not the pump????

remove cap and make sure water is there but not clear full
run it and see if it still drips
if not much do not worry about it unless oil level rises with out you adding oil
watch water and oil level close
if less than 2000 miles on bike seals may not have seatd in
yet

Dave,
I've lost sleep on this one. These are such nice little machines. Here in Daytona I'm on me own, MZ pulled out ages ago so your input has been golden.
Thanks
