Radiator leak

From new I had noticed a sweet bubblegum or fairy liquid smell when stopped at traffic lights and wondered what it was. Then after my 600 mile service, the next day went into garage and found a tiny coolant droplet on the floor. After further investigation I tracked it down to this fixing where the radiator plastic mount onto. As you can see it’s coming from the bottom so unsure if these fixings are tapped/screwed in with a rubber gasket or if they are welded. Either way I’m taking it to dealer to tomorrow and hope this is a warranty item.

Hot bike

I’ve noticed two things on my trident 800 in the first 600 miles. The first is heat from the exhaust can be felt on my right heel after riding hard and long. The second is how hot the seat gets from the battery also when riding long and fun. Interested to know if anyone else has encountered these?
