I think I found the leak. You are right, seems to be from the joint. The leaky joint is uphill of the leak as you suspected.:-)

I don't have a large wrench to put much leverage on it so couldn't budge it...and quite frankly it seems to have pretty much stopped on its own, so don't want to make matters worse by pushing my luck while underway with 3 hours to go.

Thanks for the tip!
