Since I can't delete this thread, never mind. That is NOT the cause of the leak and on further inspection doesn't appear to be possible anyway.

Is it wet near the seat with the bank of 10 small "Precision" jets? If so you may have some glue joint leaks there. We had a spa tech replace those jets on a previous repair. We found a glue joint leak in the middle of the tub where all the lines connect. Repaired that also. The majority of the water seems to be leaking along the right hand side of the tub from the lounge area back, also in the back of the tub. I've also noticed a small seepage along the front and front left corner under the filter location. We've decided to let it go until the weather cools down enough to work on it. 98 in the sun on concrete is a bit much to work in, especially when you have to dig out all that foam (again). FWIW - we had a leak in the same area on our Bengal. In our case it was a reducer fitting that led to the upper jet in the seat diagonal from the lounge. The fitting was located in the middle of the spa, under the raised seat directly opposite the control panel. Had to put the tub on it's side and dig from the bottom. There was a channel in the foam which made it hard to find. Not sure if it's the same thing with yours or not. The way to check is partially drain the tub and run your hose through the upper jet. Good luck, we're still in the process of fixing ours.

I have a 1999 Tiger River Bengal that's begun to leak. It leaks very slowly with no jets, but a reasonably steady stream once the jets are on. We've gone through the drill of ripping off one wall and excavating foam... unfortunately it looks like the source was on the opposite side which would reguire a ton more foam removal. By trying the diverter in different positions I *think* I've isolated which jet is tbad. I've drained the tub and before I rip the other half of the tub apart I took a look at the jets (from the water side). I pulled the jet faces and one of them had a very mangled gasket to the air intake. Is it possible that this is the source of the leak? I don't want to be overoptimistic, but that's a really easy repair. Any thoughts, or am I doomed to a(nother) mining expedition? If nothing else I'll try that, but I hate having to continually fill / drain to test... although that sure beats the alternative. Thanks!
