Thanks for your reply David! This leak is a very small amount...maybe a drop or two per day, so not that sizeable. In fact it's gone from the high mark to the low mark on the expansion tank in about 1 month.

What needs to be removed to gain access to the possible problem area? (You mention the overhead intake and piping.)

Thanks again!
