I recently bought a Roketa MC 54-250b from a friend. It was in a little bit in rough shape and after a bit I got it running. Everything was working well for the past 2 months (ridden about 12 miles a day) and then I walked out one afternoon and there was a small leak of what I think is coolant. I located the source of the leak, coming from a bolt (see picture) on what I think is the coolant intake. I have looked around for some video showing how to fix it but couldn't find anything. Any help for what part may be needed or how to do it would be appreciated. Attachments:

That is the water pump and the bottom screw with the copper washer is the drain. Since it looks like the copper washer is leaking replace it.

Crush washers need to be replaced every use or every other use. They are designed to deform and eventually no amount of tight will keep them from leaking in addition to mushrooming them out and making it difficult to remove.
Give it a snug and if that doesn't help them replace the washer.
Be sure and wipe all traces of coolant off or spray with a brake cleaner, then double check the leak is gone and top your fluid.

It never replaced my washer on my waterpump drainhole.. It doesn't leak. Put 5600 miles on it. What it needs is sealant or locktite to make a seal. I would use a little blue sealant..

I have a ICE BEAR 300 SUPERSPORT with 800 miles on it. Recently it started to leak coolant. I can fill it and let it run at idle for a long time and the coolant stays up but when i take it for a ride to check it, it loses coolant and cavitates and the gauge goes to hot again.
I have put BARS LEAK in but to no avail.
Any suggestions ?
