Anyone else experience a hairline crack on the coolant overflow reservoir?

I noticed a bunch of dried coolant during my last oil change, ended up tracking it to where the upper radiator hose meets the reservoir. It's leaking a few drops per week, but it's enough to be irritating. I was only able to catch it by feeling the underside of the hose.

Is it not the little hose leaking? Could just be cracked at the end where its clamped. I believe that's how mine is leaking.

Doubtful. I pulled the hose, clipped the last 1/4" off and reseated it.

I love that you actually ran a Grom down the quarter mile...little terrified that it takes a quarter mile and you're still not up to the speed limit though

Does it look like this?

It wasn't that bad, but yes, it looked similar. I cleaned it when I pulled the hose. Now, every few days the underside of that hose is damp. It's strange, because most days it's dry.
