Since posting I found the source -- a hairline crack in the tank.

Is that something I can seal with caulking, or should I replace the whole

You may be able to stop the leak temporarily but if it is cracked it is
liable to fail catastrophically w/o warning in which case you have a big
problem--particularly if it happened to be while the house is deserted
for a full day at work, etc., ...

Replace it.



Best answer given.

"liable to fail catastrophically" just my luck is when, well you know!
I'm sitting down one the job.



No........catastrophically is when nobody is home and the house is
flooded. BTDT.
