Ratman has an 800 book, so he can probably tell you what you need to know about fixing this. Looks like $50 worth of parts and maybe a couple of hour's work... Looks like you have to take off the right side cover to get the pipe out and in...ok. Good time to change the coolant, probably needs it, anyway! Time for some intimate mechanical bike bonding!

I fixed it for awhile with some high temp RTV, but the leak is back. Is there a way to modify that piece so that I can remove it, fix the bad orings, and then replace it without having to tear everything off the right side of the bike? My idea was to cut it, and then use a small piece of silicone hose to reconnect the the two pieces. What are your thoughts on this? Have you had to replace yours? If so, how did you do it?
Thanks
