[C320-list] fresh water leak

[Bruce Stumpp]

John, 

Check the connections to the fresh water heater under the sink/galley.
These use hose clamps instead of Whale connections and the
expanding/contracting from the hot water will cause leaks, sometimes even
pushing the hoses off for some really big leaks.
