Re: [A/S] Elusive Leak Making me NUTS !!!



I too had a leak problem - they can be SO frustrating!  Mine turned out
to dried caulk where the sewer vent pipe goes thru the skin.  There is a
pretty aluminum thing over the joint for appearanvce only.  Take out the
screws and heavily seal that plastic pipe/skin joint and replace the
trim.  I also put a small aluminum cover looped over similar to a rain
stop over a fireplace chimney cover.  Stopped the leak.  You will likely
find your leak over a ways from where the water eventually shows up. On
an older model you may also find a loose or missing rivet.  Thr middle
70s were really "flexible fliers".  Good hunting!  Gene
