We have a 2019 Entegra Cornerstone, we have orange fluid leaking on top of our Aquahot. Which seems to be a leak from the engine preheat hose, but sure.. Is there a way to get to the back of the Aquahot. Tried using a mirror and camera to see if we can locate the leak.

You should be able to access the back of the aquahot from the passenger side. Its covered with a carpeted panel which is held on with some screws. You can probably get it off with a Philips driver but they are actually square drive screws. #2 I think.

Unfortunately the panel has acquahot control board screwed on to it and several different pex hoses and transfer switch etc all attached. We were wondering from another compartment maybe without removing all that?

What I am saying is go into the passenger side compartment and remove a carpeted panel that is mounted to the. You will have to crawl inside to get to it. I am not talking about the carpeted panel that the control board is mounted to. Its tight in there but an average size person should be able to get to it.

If it’s on top of the Aquahot unit check the hose out of refill/expansion tank.

Magic Carpet is correct, the engine circulating hoses are accessed from the passenger side behind the aqua hot. There is a carpeted panel held on with 4 L brackets. The engine hoses (heater hose) will carry the red anti freeze to the engine circulating pump. The clamps have known to be loose on new deliveries. There was a post a few weeks ago with the same situation.

Strange that the red fluid would be on top of the Aqua Hot, the engine hoses are on the back, lower side.

He said orange, not red. IIRC when my AquaHot was leaking, in the Aspire, the dried darkened yellow fluid made orange stains on the top of the AH.

So the orange fluid is possibly the dried out aquahot glycol? Started out life as a yellow/lime green Century fluid? You are correct, if its on the top of the aquahot unit its probably from a leak up above or the expansion tank line and not the engine preheat lines or pump.
