Carrera cooler repair

So I noticed a steady drip from under my passenger front fender. Looks like a leak.....pulled the wheel, broke loose the connection from the Elephant line to the cooler and the divert to my cooler in the nose....gave a clean up and re-tightened.

Took it for s serious jaunt.....still leaks, Fookkkk.....

Looked closer and it looked like the body of the cooler and not the lines or fittngs.

Pulled the cooler, stripped the rock guard off, the fan, and took to a local radiator shop. They found a pinhole leak inside the flap of the lower....mount.

Never seen this happen. BIG weld bead, pressure check to 135psi and no leak.
