Water drip, 86PT40
could be the emergency blow-off valve ?, if the hose leads to a free opening.
If it is a e-valve leak it could imply that the valve was exercised/then hung open a bit and there WAS an overheat issue in the tank?? the hose has two ends, I would follow both. if yo get to a location that you can only feel for a leak, use a handfull of blue toilet paper to touch the pipes then look for a darker wet spot Greg 94ptca --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Greg Young > > Hi! > > Before I tear apart the water heater and nearby plumbing thought I would ask if anyone has knowledge that might help with this: > > There are two approx 1/2" hoses that drop down from the plate behind the radiator about 18" forward or our rear bumper. One of them is dripping what seems to be hot water. I see no sign of seepage anywhere on the plate above or in the water heater compartment, and the water is flowing inside the hose, not on the outside. I'm guessing there is a valve on the water heater, which is located above this hose, that's leaking.
