Water Leak

[Gregg Kizer]

Just now getting around to my anual de winterizing program and
hooking up my water line as usual, every thing was going great. Been
doing the same produre for many years (winterizing and dewinterizing)
with NO PROBLEMS till now. Had presure at all point of need (toilet,
wash bowel, shower, kitchen sink, etc.)from the city hook up...Went
out side to start filling the water tank (throwing the switch in the
hook up compentment area/ electric land line hook up area)...

Went on with my business and was walking around the rear of the coach
and noticed water leaking from the water heater area into the engine
area / down the the ground (nature's plumbing law)....Thus, I went to
the rear of the coach (inside) to the water heater area and there I
noticed a steady small pin hole type spray of water on the brass vale
(this looks to have means to devert city vs. water tank fill with,
looks like a air line to this unit. It also tees in to the water
heateralso. On the side of the unit where it is leaking, I am to the
opinion some exposy or JB Weld might be the trick vs. taking the unit
out and replacing it (last thing I want to do for finding the part
and trying to get the coach ready for next weekend outing). It seems
to be near a seem of the brass unit since screws are holding the cup
cover type unit to the main body) but 1/16" or 1/8" from the seem
with a pin type hole that I can hold my finger on it and it stops the
source of leak. Leak is there no matter what position I have the
switch in (City or Fill)---(Boy am I stong)!!! I gusess the winter
freeze might of got this or my real question is, "is this round tpye
hole it there by design and will I screw the unit up by pluging with
water expoy or JB Weld to stop the leak source???

What would your take be on this little unkown leak? I am having some
problems wondering that the leak is of a round type hole vs. a normal
hair line crack that would be noticed from a winter type freeze
problem (reason for my concern of plugging the leak source???) and
what would the the proper fix be? I just love it when Murhy greets
me on my time line!!!! WHY ME?
