Subject:Re: Apparent leak between the city water hookup and the interior

Take out the drawer under the sink and the bigger door and shelf under the sink,   take a look up
under the sink to see if the nipple is broken off the underside of the faucet.  If you're lucky
that is the problem as the faucet is available from gowesty.com and is easy to replace. if you're
not lucky your leak is in behind the side metal panel.  Maybe you can get to it by taking off the
exterior hookup and clevery threading a new hose in there.  Be carefull taking the old hose off
the faucet niple as the nipple is fragil and may carck off - mine did.  remember tpo re-goop the
exterior hookup.  Behind the hookups is just a few hoses, no big deal to take them off. M
