You need to have the system pressurized. This will push the sealing places open to a leak. Wherever it leaks, there is your hose problem. If the water pushed out of a hose and you follow that hose to the radiator overflow tank = Normal heating burp.

Big difference between out a drain hose and between a fitting and a radiator hose.

Yeah it's possible whom ever owned before you overfilled it and it's adjusting with overflow hose which dumps out underneath (by your left foot usually. Next time pull over right away and see if one of those tubes are wet. I never had this with coolant, but sometimes when the bike sits in the sun I would get a puddle from the gas vent lines which are in the same bundle.
