4 hour oil change
Saturday I decided to do a quick oil change in my generator. While I was running it to warm up the oil I saw a puddle of coolant in the front so figured it was the water pump. I've had a drip of coolant there since I bought the coach but never could find the leak. After changing the oil I also saw one of the brackets holding the expansion tank/guard to the engine. I was able to take out the other bracket bolts and move the tank enough to see that the 5/8" hose from the tank to the engine was split. I cut the hose and removed the tank/guard. Picked up everything and drove to town to get a new piece of hose, clamps, and some 1" flat bar to make a new bracket. Got everything back together and filled the expansion tank, cranked up the generator and let it run for about 20 minutes.
The other hoses were replaced recently and the belt looked good also. The hose I replaced was the original.
Always a good day when you find a problem and can fix it before it gets much larger.
