Hydraulic fluid dripping from C13 exhaust.

[distaff]

Pulled up to the house, stopped short so I could move one of my vehicles, then pulled up the last 50 feet. Stopped, raised the suspension (want to do some work on the Onan). Walked to the back and red fluid was pouring in a steady stream from the tailpipe. About a half a quart seemed to come out.

Went back to where I had just stopped and no drips there or until I stopped. The road has a significant crown and it would have been on more or less the same angle at both locations.

I can't think of any hydraulic parts that would leak into the exhaust. Any thoughts? It isn't going anywhere for the moment.

'First thought is to the reservoir above the tailpipe/muffler...

Dive in with a flashlight, look at the tank and all its fittings.

Think about it: were hydraulic fluid going through that magnificent diesel-sucking monster, it'd hardly come out red, eh?

Yup, false alarm. Spent some time under it and it is sliding down the side and dripping down the end.

Now to try and find the source given how Monaco stuffed things in without consideration to fixing them later.

Better still, it is just the overflow tube sitting hidden above the tailpipe. The coach is sitting on an unusual angle.

Appreciate the helpful advice, and the "eh".
