Aquahot Antifreeze Leak
I have an antifreeze leak at the top of my AHE-100-01S Aquahot. I spoke with the folks at AH and I read the Service Manual. Both agree that it's one of three things:

1) radiator cap
2) cracked expansion tank tube
3) filler neck solder joint

I ruled out (1) and (2). I'm going to use my radiator pressure tester to bring the tank up to 17 psi to see if I can identify the leak.

Anyone have any experience with repairing a leaky filler neck solder joint? I wonder if I can do it in place or if the AH needs to be pulled from the bus.

This is my second AH. I replaced the original back in '07 with a reman unit at the cost of $4K (after reducing $1K for the core). Argh... Angry
