Hello WtW folks,
Curious if anyone has experienced a leak either with the hose for the tank fill or at the connection to the tank. Or how to replace it ideally without tearing everything out. Or if so, what was your process? I've got a 2004 Hawk. Attached is a photo of the culprit area. It's right above the box for the propane so I can't actually unthread it/thread a new connection. Nor get a slop of silicone to patch it for the time being. When the tank drains more, presumably past the infill, it doesn't leak which is how I've made my assumption. Haven't watched it fill up to verify.

Thanks all!
Will

yep, I had similar issue but on a travel trailer. I had limited space so I removed/loosened the clamp,slid back tubing as much as I could, cleaned as much as I could, applied silicone a lot,slid tubing back on reclamped and all was good. As you know not much room it’s a challenge at best.
 
You have 3 joints that I can see in that picture. Which joint is it leaking at? The flex hose screw clamp? At the 90* bend going into the tank fitting? The fitting at the tank?
