so that was it ? ..
leaking at the aft end of the main coolant pipe there ?

I think GoWesty is the famous source  for those plastic main pipe repair ends  kits.

    hi,
    that would be a main coolant hose, going to a plastic main coolant pipe,
    and they have a metal insert in the end of those plastic main pipes..
    those  metal insert ends are famous for sliding out of the end of the plastic pipe a bit and then it leaks there.

    there's a repair kit ..
    but that's not on the tower. .

      Okay, it's a manual and the hose looks to be at least 1.5 inches in
      diameter.   It's straight and
      goes a short ways from the bottom of the stack to what I thought was a long
      metal pipe but maybe
      it's plastic.   Haven't tapped it to know for sure.   Again, it's a 91
      camper.

        Right.  If you look at it, it's a stack of tees (well really a stack
        of nipples, but hey).
