Default Discus tail ballast leak

Boot is usually the suspect. An hour's work for an experienced techie to
replace. Use non-acidic thick grease like vaseline to lube before putting
it in. Saves you smaller leaks over time. Problem usually comes back after
some years depending on tailtank use, local climate etc.
