Just changed the oil and then started the engine up for the first time in a few weeks to let the oil circulate into the filter, etc. Noticed a few tiny specs of coolant drips from water pump area while I was looking for any general oil drips from bolt/filter. Not a lot came out for the 3mins I idled the bike. 30mins later I wheeled the bike out into the driveway and let it idle for 10mins and noticed no drips at all this time from where I saw it coming from. Is there anything that possibly could have caused the drip of the coolant when the oil pressure was low for those first few seconds on the empty oil filter? Just wondering if there is something outside my knowledge that would cause a leak briefly or maybe completely separate unrelated factors. I'd assume the oil change, cold start on empty oil filter would have nothing to do with the coolant drips but just reaching for a maybe situation. Weird the coolant drips aren't occurring now. Coolant reservoir is full and haven't noticed any drips on the floor before or after this. The picture is from the front of the MC where the water pump is located.
