Thanks Tim, that looks like the answer I'm looking for.  I'll save that 
document.  Well done!  You guys are the greatest!  That looks like what 
would be in there alright so I'm going to assume I can just pack it in 
rv goop to keep the crack from worsening and put it back into service 
then.   -Bob
