It's highly probable that the crossover vent line
is leaking at a junction-at least that is why my
Bluestar leaked when I filled the tank.
It a plastic tube with small and large hose
fitting on each end, which become brittle and
crack.
Replace the evnt lines while there and it will
last a long time.
