Leak on top of my engine. (1 Viewer)

[2022 HD9Max DPS]

I have a 2022 HD9 Max DPS with 4,500 miles, noticed that it was getting hot at idle, topped off coolant and life was good for a few weeks. Starting getting hot again, checked around hoses and noticed that what appears to be the rear thermostat was wet. Is this a whole thermostat issue or just the plastic housing? My picture kinda sucks but I’ll attach anyway.

if your talking about the plastic waternecks that can am uses i have replaced mine behind the firewall 3 times now on my 2020. the bad part is the gaskets cost more than the plastic waterneck. But i did find a place that makes aluminum ones for the defenders and will defiantly be going to them if it happens again in which it will.

Found another new leak on mine, i think its coming out of the weep hole on my water pump but ill get my belly pans off this weekend and go from there. Always something lol!

so after further review it wasn't my water pump it was that stupid plastic water neck again but it was leaking on the backside which i didn't see until i took my passenger seat out and middle section to open access panel up. i put the aluminum water neck on and new gasket, so far so good fingers crossed!
