    Where is it leaking from? The hoses, the radiator?, the heads? If it's over heating then thermostat would be a likely culprit. I take it leaks even when not riding it for a while? Clean/dry off the bike and see if you can spot where it's leaking from, it could be a hole in one of the hoses or a loose hose clamp. Worse case it's a head gasket or a hole in the radiator.

    hey yeah sorry just realised that i was not specific enough. its not radiator( even though i had to change one already.. :( ) it seems its from an reservoir tank, but it leaks when u stop the bike and leave it fro a bit, need to check the hoses, but wondering would that might be caused by thermostat, or potentially faulty water pump? need to sort it as I have a big journey this year to Spain and it will get hot ;/
