DIY I am sure it is not that hard. I know that on the GS400 the overflow tube drains right in the center of the radiator.

My motto is that you can screw it up just as good as they can.

pressurize the rad, see where its dripping from underneath. could be as simple as ur drain plug needs to be replacing or even just a bit of a turn to tighten it up. worse case scenario is that u need a new rad.
