Yes, I'm talking about the intake for the head (toilet). Great suggestions here. In the interest of not turning a tiny leak into a gushing one (or an inoperative toilet), I think I'll try the least disruptive first: 1. rescue tape 2. removing/trimming the hose and applying silicone & replacing or 3. removing/trimming/replacing the hose and lightly heating with even clamping Lots to mull here-- thanks for the ideas. Richard, thanks for the warm welcome and the reference to Dave Godwin's blog. I'll be in touch with him!

I'm a little confused when you say Plastic seacock... However, if you remove that end of the hose and can cut 1 inch off and then use a silicone type of sealant that may hold you over. Also, at some point you may want to remove the exhaust manifold and have it sand blasted and reinstall with a new gasket too. I had a lot of carbon build up inside mine which can lead to pressure that may also cause a leak. A lot radiator shop can blast it for cheap. Just added 2 cents..

My wife & I are the excited new owners of Sirius, '85 C&C 37 located for now in Poulsbo, WA. We’ll be adventuring north in the coming years but sailing Puget Sound and San Juans for the time being. The boat has received incredible care and maintenance by the PO but comes equipped with a leaky head intake where the hose meets the barbed nipple on the plastic seacock. Guessing the nipple is cracked or scored, preventing the clamp from sealing properly. It drips about 1/5 secs and needs attention, but I don't want to break it with too much tightening. Thinking of removing the hose and coating nipple with a good sealant then retightening until I can replace the seacock next haul. A durable bandaid or am I asking for disaster? I'll be signing up for the meet 'n greet next week, so maybe I'll see you there.
