There could be a fine crack in the tank, or it could be one of the sensor studs in the tank leaking. I think that you have the older style level indicator system that comprises of four metal studs in the side of the tank. These are sealed to the tank wall by rubber washers. It could be the washers are shot.

Pretty easy to unscrew the studs and replace the washers if that is the problem.

If I remove the bottom under the front hatch I do not see any water leaking from the hose connections but water will form up on the floor when it is filled to the green LED and  stop leaking at about the yellow Led.

I am going to have to think about this a bit before I rip it apart but I think it will have to come apart. I guess as Alistair said the cabinet covering the tank can be removed by removeing the bed and unbolting the sides? As  Roseanne, Roseanne
