It turned out not to be a hose after all. Good, because I am not in a
position to be removing the tank at this time. Turned out to be a slight
weep from the bottom, near the middle, of the tank. For the time being, it
has an epoxy patch. Seems to be holding - less than $3.00 to fix. I
thought about just putting a sheet metal screw in there, but it was right on
the edge of a beveled spot, so decided against that. Tank is at about 1/2.
Will wait a day or two before filling up - and then re-check the patch.
Thanks to those who sent me tips on common leaks. I'll be replacing the
tank in the near future.
