Oasis leaking

Hi!
We have a new to us 2011 3734dsp. Just purchased a month ago when our new 2014 Tiffin's gas engine blew up. Long story!!!
Love driving our Dutch Star! We are currently in ruidoso nm and I noticed that our Oasis system is leaking clear water out of the right bottom corner of the
Distribution module. Slow drip.
My guess is that the oasis has never been serviced. 20k on the coach.
Does anyone have any ideas???
Thanks !
Jack

Jack....There are two components to the Oasis unit. The big square box you can see and then another box, about half that size located behind it. I have to crawl into my bay form the passenger side and remove a bay wall to see the other half of the unit. The smaller unit has several hose connections. You might want to locate this unit and make sire all the fittings are tight.

Oasis (HRT) is great for helping over the phone. Usually, a tech answers and will help you.

I agree with Don. On our first visit to Newmar the tech noticed a leak and tightened something in the area that Don was describing. Crawl in from the passenger side and open her up. I'm betting it will be obvious.

Welcome to the forum Jack Lee and irv2.
If you go to QT's # 3 you will find information set up by Dutch Star Don down in his section of the link explaining the Oasis system.
Here is one of his threads explaining operation of the Oasis there are more in the QT's information.
Here is a Brochure and Owners Guide for your coach.
Below in my signature are many other links in related info for your coach.
Enjoy the forums and safe travels.

Jack, the miles on the coach are not the same as the hours on the oasis. Here's how to find your hour meter. When you open the bay door with the Oasis you'll see a big box, that is your boiler. That box is where all the heat is generated, inside you'll have both your diesel burner and your electric elements. That is connected to a pump/manifold system which is the smaller box that Don and Dan are describing. That smaller box is where most of the water connections are. Now getting back to the hour meter, on the boiler box is an hour meter. Look on the top corner, for mine I have to go into the bay in front of the boiler to see it. I've also attached an Owner's manual and a Service manual in case you don't have yours.
Let us know how you make out.

Update on leaking oasis

Thanks for all of your responses !
On my DS the distribution module is next to and set back and up about one foot from the burner box.difficult to get to.
Took off front cover. There is a clear tube coming into a fitting on the top of the box. It is leaking at the fitting above the box.
The fitting is corroded and may have been leaking for some time.
Rv repair guy coming to fix today.
Thanks again. I will update when fixed.
Jack
