I currently have my underbelly dropped to clean up the plumbing, wiring, and furnace duct work. while inspecting the belly of the beast, I found a leak in one of my gray tanks. After uttering five minutes of sailor talk, I decided I needed to fix it. It's a slow leak at one of the electrical attachment points. Evidently, it's been leaking for quite a while due to the residue I found on the coroplast.
Your humble moderator has never encountered this type of leak before, and I don't want to do something that will cause me to utter ten minutes of sailor talk. My first inclination is to remove the outer nut and sensor wire, then try tightening the inner nut. But I'm afraid if I do this, it might damage the connection and cause it to pop out or leak even more. Another option would be to just epoxy the whole darn thing in the hopes that epoxy would stop the leak.
Have any of you ever worked on one of these and have suggestions for repair? I'm attaching some pics for your amusement... And while your entertained with the photos, maybe you might have a suggestion on what the red residue around the sensor is?
