I Will be looking tonight to make sure it was late around 11:00 pm When i found the leak. i will try my best to find the location before jumping to conclusions but it erks me anyway. i do have a dye kit of some sort i got from X-mas a few years back that you can use a black light on to see the leak. i guess i should pull that out. thanks for your help Jonce
