Water coming out of bottom of expansion tank

[LL - NY]

Especially if this is the original tank, it's gotten old enough to start
cracking (usually the tiny return line barb towards the front of the tank)
and judging from the list traffic on this, it is not
repairable. Time to replace the tank. FWIW, I've replaced the tank with the
Chinese made one
sold by Rapid Parts in Suffern, NY out of convienience. So far, so good, but
I did have to trim the mounting tabs in order to make it fit. This was on my
200Q.
