A little bad news. A little while after I filled the tank to above the window I noticed a tiny bit of moisture on the floor in front of the window. Wife and I watched a movie (Avatar) and fell asleep on the sofa. The dvd went back to the menu and the repetitive theme song woke me up a few minutes ago. I went to check on the tank and found some water on the floor; about enough to fill a beach towel. Drained tank down to the 7:00 mark (about a foot down from the top of the window) to see if that slows or stops it.

It did stop. My wife thinks we missed something up near the top of the window. For me, the fact that we resolved the original leak is a big deal. The tank has never been filled above the 7:00 level before, so I don't know if this has always existed or not. I told my wife that I'm ready to hang a curtain across the part where there isn't water and be done with it. She said no and that it has to be filled up.
