Penny,
The right answer will probably from from @"Trainer" (Rudy)...until he sees this post, I will take a stab at the problem.
I have had the tank and coils replaced for my AH unit. When the old one was out, it was obvious that the tank had several cracks in it. If there were cracks in your tank, I suspect that someone would have said something. I am thinking the problem is something other than the tank. (That is really good news). Also, for the water to come out the top, it really can’t be the tank because water flows downhill.
I would look very closely at a few things. (Obviously let the unit cool before doing much).
0. Can you determine if the leaking fluid is radiator fluid or plain water?
1. Look at the hose that goes to the overflow tank. These are notorious for leaking. The hose should be in good shape and the clamp should be tight.
2. The radiator cap can get old and not seal. I think that the cap should be a standard 16 lb radiator cap. Look for its seal to be in good shape.
3. If you take the cap off and can look closely at the neck (under the flange that holds the cap). Can you see any cracks? My unit was leaking under the flange. That leak meant that water showed up under the coach.
Can you take some pics of your unit?
