zx11 coolant leaking out of airbox draintube
1992 ZX11C, does not smoke, running straight antifreeze, none in oil, runs good, drips out of small drain tube on bottom of airbox, white talc-like film on inside of intake tubes, plugs and cylinder not wet however intake valves do look wet, compression 145-160 all cylinders, losses about 1/3 cup coolant per week, temp normal. Notice when started cold with cap off can see coolant flowing all the time and must put cap on or will overflow after about a minute, no compression bubbles. Also fan quit working at beginning of season. Temp stays near cold when riding, at stop lights, goes up a little more, but never goes near halfway mark.

Not quite sure what would cause coolant to get to the airbox, unless you had both a bad head gasket and bad valves..
BTW: The purpose of antifreeze is to keep the water in your system from freezeing, its the water that carries most of the heat away.
