Hi Dave,
I don't quite understand---this has been sitting with antifreeze in the system for several months. I drained the antifreeze using the petcocks and the white plastic valve next or the tanks--then flushed out the city water pipes then filled the fresh water tank and ran the water pump to flush out the antifreeze until I could smell the chlorine in the faucet. Then went back outside and saw the drip. I pulled some "fuzzy" stuff from the hole and more water came out. Not much, but steady. Is this drilled hole for a leak in the interior plumbing I didn't know was there since it hasn't been on the road? It sat inside an RV place for some time getting the floor re-done so I would think if it were road water it would have leaked then.
I'm trying not to panic...
