Re: dripping out

Probably clogged with crud from sitting. Try getting a piece of wire and running it up the tell tale. Maybe that will work. More experience people will reply here soon.

Re: dripping out

Probably just a clogged hose.Pull the hose off the tell tale and see if it sprays water out of the fitting of the exhaust cover.If so the hose is plugged.
Bugs love that little opening for some reason..
There should be water coming out if the T-stats are open or closed.
