sounds like a water leak, you may have to split the engine to do this but first take the casing off leaving the kickstart well alone, you will see the variator & the oil pump to the left, the small drive belt drives the oil pump and the water pump, take all this off, you might see an 8mm bolt remove bolt & pullout pump to repair, fit 2 new 'o' rings & push back in. Wemoto.com or adrenalin-pedstop.co.uk for bits.

Hi, first of all decide whether its water or petrol leaking out, the smell is a giveaway! If its fuel you'll need to check back to the tank or if its flooding the engine, which will cause poor starting and the air filter will be soaked in petrol. If its a seal/gasket that's gone on the water pump try A.J.Sutton, GileraSpares.co.uk, the drive kit is about £32, not the rip-off £700 mate.good luck.
