Hello, I have a 2008 M6 Arctic Cat that is leaking antifreeze, my husband found out that the hose for the antifreeze was off under the engine and fixed it. We tested it out but everytime he takes off I see some drops of antifreeze and when he stops it there's steam coming from under the hood. What would be the problem?

If there are no signs of that line leaking where he had fixed it, it could have air entrapped in the lines, never done it on a sled before, but with vehicles remove the rad cap (when cold) and let the engine run, it will chase all the air out of the lines, once done, put cap back on.

How long since he fixed the leak? It could just be antifreeze that was trapped in the bellypan still coming out. Remember it won't evaporate like water does, it may drip for a bit. Good luck
