It's the barbed elbow on top of the tank, which the fill hose connects to. It's completely disintegrated on the underside, behind the barbs. Right now it's got foil tape on the outside and JB weld on the inside holding it together. If it's that corroded there, I suspect it has pinholes throughout the entire tank. Either way, I wanna get all that foam out and build a cooler in; probably add a fresh water resorvoir. Gonna get into it this winter regardless.
