I should add that the sensor studs can be accessed with the tank in situ. You do need to take that little vertical divider panel out of the cupboard ( if you haven't already ditched it to gain little more space in said cupboard).

I think that you have the older style level indicator system that comprises of four metal studs in the side of the tank. These are sealed to the tank wall by rubber washers.

If I remove the bottom under the front hatch I do not see any water leaking from the hose connections but water will form up on the floor when it is filled to the green LED and stop leaking at about the yellow Led. >> That said, I do not know if I have enough time before Synco Fest to get it all apart, repaired, and back together. I am going to have to think about this a bit before I rip it apart but I think it will have to come apart. I guess as Alistair said the cabinet covering the tank can be removed by removeing the bed and unbolting the sides?
