Noticed a coolant puddle under my 2019 uforce 1000 this weekend. So called dealership Monday and they had me drop off right away. Got a call today saying the coolant is pouring out from block where it splits. Was told warranty just ran out. Of course was quoted $3000 to fix. Curious if I have great luck or anyone else heard of this happening.

I'll have to look but to my knowledge the coolant tracks does not cross the case split. The 1000s are different but I have a manual on the 1000 Z and will take a look. Now I have heard of oil leaking from the split...and engine oil mixing with gear lube and visa-versa but never coolant. Now literally thousands have had coolant leaks from the water pump's mechanical seal. That's common.

UPDATE: I just sent you a link to that 1000 service manual and it shows it does not flow between the halfs, in and out of the pump, then to the cylinders by way of external pipe, then out through thermostat housings to the radiator...then back again to the pump. It can be leaking on the mechanical seal, any cover related to the pump, cylinder base gasket or anything above line the thermostat housing but..not themain case split point. Make then show you.

Interesting. They said it was coming from the split and they would have to pull the motor. I guess I don't know where the water pump is located if it is coming on top side.

Well, just review the manual for yourself. All 1000s are the same. Maybe a good power wash'n would help see where it was coming from.

I see what your saying that no actual part of cooling system goes by split. But I would assume there are water jackets on motor for cooling like a car motor. So maybe a gasket there? They said they were going to look deeper and call tomorrow I guess.

Not in the case. It's cooled by the oil. But there is gaskets around the water pump area and the cylinder bases that could be leaking. Either way it's not the main case split.
