Water leak under sink!!! Help

[mefly2]

It is a drain for the HW heater. The bypass valve does not drain the heater, it just "by passes" so that the HWH doesn't fill up with 6+ gals of RV antifreeze.

Thomas- glad that you found the loose fittings.

Thomas G, thanks for the info. Mystery solved.

If you are taking your AS into the dealer spray down the inside shower door to see if it leaks water from under the shower to the hall way floor. Might as well have them repair that also.

Hello All-

I'm resurrecting this thread because I just discovered the exact same issues on our new 2015 international 25 FB. First it was the water heater plug, then today discovered a very slow, intermittent leak from the back end of the door side wheel well. Hopefully pictures follow, the drip was coming right from where the aluminum meets the steel.

When I opened the cabinet under the sink, I could see where water had been dripping from the filter line and running toward the wall (we're not perfectly level at our site ;-) ). There was no active leak, as Doug noted, it must only leak when the pressure is high enough.

Because this is Airforums, not only is there a thread with the diagnosis and fix, there's also a permanent solution - thanks Doug!

The reason for the post is to ask what water damage concerns I should have. I'm planning to dry out the tube and reinstall with Teflon tape, then implement Doug's solution when I'm back at home. I'll also take it into the dealer to document the leak - what should I ask them to inspect? I should probably add that this is the only problem we've had so far, we are loving our new Airstream! Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Quick update, as above I experienced the same issues (in the same order) as the OP, first replaced the water heater drain plug, now have taped and tightened the water filter line under the sink after experiencing a leak over the weekend. Seems to be water tight for now, next is the accumulator.

Would still appreciate any thoughts on what to ask dealer to inspect for potential water damage. Looks like my pics are is as links above rather than images, if you click you should be able see the location water was dripping from - the rear of the door side wheel well.
