I know this may sound over simple -- but I had this happen to me coming off of the track one time.

I was double checking everything before I went on track -- even undid the water cap and screwed it back on.

As I came off track -- temperature started to rise -- and it was peeing all over the paddock, right in front of the right rear tire.

I thought my weekend was shot. Water pump for sure. NOPE -- dummy me I had cross threaded the screw on cap.

Found a jug, filled it with water. Opened the pressure vent, and carefully put the cap back on. Went out and ran the next session, took it a little easy -- no issues ever again.

Don't give up on things... Just be diligent and work through some of the kinks...

Mike
