I checked the airline and brass fittings, they were fine. I need to check the nut, I did not think about that.

Thanks Brutal.

Thanks. Learn something new everyday about this car. Wish it didn't always have to associated with a repair need. Sigh....

Just an update, the car has been behaving itself for the past 2 months with no remedial action done on it, so at this point I have no idea what caused the problem in the first place. The only thing that has changed is the weather as we've gone past the rainy season in November/December where we had daily heavy downpours. Now we only have downpours maybe once / week or less. My guess is that the cat doesn't like water.. Will watch and see if anything develops.
