Hi. All the sudden I have coolant dripping from water heater area. I notice it upon cold startup.

Please advise.

Thanks

??

I presume your rig has the system that uses engine coolant heat to provide hot water while you are under way ...so I presume you have either a leaking connection or a bad hose somewhere between the engine and where the hoses connect to the system on the water heater. I would say that's one for your dealer to check out unless you can see anything by looking up from underneath, or in the water heater compartment.

There are 2 possibilities on a Workhorse chassis the one is a hose connection leaking behind the water heater and the other is a leaking Motor Aid heater core which is also behind water heater. Motor Aid heater cores are just as likely to leak as the dash heater cores which seems to be a bit to common in Winnebago's. Motor Aid heater core leak is a big job to repair and can be jumpered out by changing a couple of hose connections under the dog house pretty easy done.
