Is this a 'fatal' damage? I mean while lacking the tools & know-how, would it make any sense to have the engine repaired? |
it will definitely make it hard to start lol
possibly not a difficult fix if it is just base gaskets and head o-rings. but before that make sure that the bolts are actually tight and that the coolant isn't moisture sitting in the crank from a drowning
if it isn't the bolts then when you remove the cylinder to replace gasket try to check that the bottom end bearing hasn't had a chance to rust from moisture in the engine
but you do need to get it fixed, if you loose all coolant (will happen faster as the bike warms and builds pressure in the coolant system) you will really damage your bike
