Default is it leaking about near the oil filter area?

look at the hose transition and verify that there are no fluid residue/dirt buildup. There is a fluid cooling line connection going under the radiator(return line) and another to the pump(engine area). Could be just a loose connection(good) or damaged hose($$$).

I have added more clamps(screw-tight) as the original crimp clamps were not that tight anymore. On my '97, had a leak first on my reservoir(fixed that), then hose connection(above,fixed that), then on my rack itself(grrrr!will have it replaced).

Hope it's just the connections needed to be clamped. Good luck.
