Thank you for the responses! Keith I have to stick with this one until we downsize (soon)…
“The coolant lines run in the ceiling of the basement” - since these lines go up into the dash this makes sense but the antifreeze came pouring out from what looked like the pan that is below the generator (as I recall), I was kind of freaking out at the time and didn’t video record it like I normally would… I didn’t even think to check the front bays… Everything looked pretty dry under the dash - I will take my moisture meter today to check it again.
It looked like the antifreeze was pouring out the generator at first and then after a call to Newell (awesome support) we figured out that in order to stop the leak we had to turn off the antifreeze from the engine.
“ I don’t understand the VMSPC only indicated 200 but the Stop engine light came on. But maybe the low coolant sensor tripped the warning light.” - I think you are correct that the Low Coolant Sensor came on. Luckily this was not in the middle of a long trip at 70 mph - I was just going on a short test drive so was only a couple miles from the barn…
I will plan to turn the spigots back on today - I never saw any labels near or on the spigots
BTW, any ideas how much coolant the loops to the front dash hold?
I need to get how the lines run straight in my brain…
