Water Leak - Rob Owens - 03-14-2006 17:03 Thanks to all for the advice. I will try to tear into it all tomorrow. Does the rear bed lift up or is it bolted down?

Let me know if you need any help, I have been there, done that. I should be able to help when you find out which one it is.-Or actually it could be water running from somewhere else coming out under the fridge.

In your posts include SB (side bath) or RB (rear bath) it does make a diffrence in some things.

It is dripping out of a hole abovve the engine inside the engine compartement. It is a bit to the drivers side of the coolant resevoir, so almost at the rear corner about head high as I look at the back of the bus. Coming out of the hole is a bundle of wires with a plastic shroud wrapping it. I investigated the inside of the coach in the closet behind the bed and found a little door that led to the water heater and the back of the circuit breakers. I looked closely and there is no evidence of any water in this area. Any ideas of where to look? I hate to yank too hard on the wire bundle. The drip is quite slow but steady, like maybee a drip every ten or twenty seconds. Robert Rahn Kalispell, Mt. 1988 PT 40 Water Leak - David Hanvy - 10-11-2007 13:19 Robert, On my 89 WB PT40, the fresh water pump and tank are located under the bed. I suggest you look there and check all the water line connections. They are easy to get at.

Mine didn't have any hose connected to it to get the water out of the bus, so leaked and drained out of the same hole you described. I think my thermostats were going bad, so changed them at the same time..really not that hard to do...check your overflow valve for any moisture.

When the paper gets wet it turns dark. you can reach in and wipe areas. when you find moisture, dry up the area, put a big wad of paper there to soak up the water mid path. wait for more build up then, go back to the search to locate a new wetspot closer to the source.

Not sure if you're is the same location or not. My water heater drips a little from it's relief valve when it's heating or the engine is running & heating it through the heat exchanger. Your drain for same should be plumbed down through the bottom of that compartment, right at the right rear corner of the coach.

Just getting ready to leave for vacation and as I was filling the fresh water tank I noticed water gushing from above the holding tank on the driver's side. I have confirmed that it is the cold water supply to the shower. I took the mixing valve cover off but cant see far enough down to tell where the leak is, but I can sure hear it. Question is, how do I access the plumbing for the shower, or should I just feed a new line through from below the sink? Chuck Harrison Akron, Ohio 90SP36 Water Leak - timvasqz - 07-12-2009 09:23 could be the overflow from the tank. the pipe is in the tank abit and not just at the full level. once it starts to overflow, it could continue to siphon out the volumn up to the overflow pipe hanging in the tank.
