so that was it ? .. leaking at the aft end of the main coolant pipe there ? I think GoWesty is the famous source for those plastic main pipe repair ends kits.

Okay, it's a manual and the hose looks to be at least 1.5 inches in diameter. It's straight and goes a short ways from the bottom of the stack to what I thought was a long metal pipe but maybe it's plastic. Haven't tapped it to know for sure. Again, it's a 91 camper.

Right. If you look at it, it's a stack of tees (well really a stack of nipples, but hey). :) d |
