water leak help

robertpr · Aug 3, 2015

Hi,

We're in the way to Italy and we've got a leaking fresh water tank. Persistent drips via the normal outlet above the passenger side rear wheel. I can't see the outlet though. We lose a whole tank full over a 15 hour period.

Any advice on a: where the outlet is b: can I just block it until we get back? Any photos of where it is would be very gratefully received.

Annoying because I had it "repaired" under warranty when we got the Cali in March but it clearly wasn't!

Thanks!!

Thanks! Tried that. It stopped. Hurrah! But then started leaking through the spare tyre!! I've booked it in at SMG when we get back. There's clearly something badly wrong! Now stressed I'm going to have electrical faults because of all the water around the bottom of the van!!

Don't worry about that. The waste water comes out of a pipe just in front of the rear NS wheel. BUT the fresh water drains onto the rear under shield so dependent on if the van is level can appear anywhere. There are no electrics down there.
