Mark it for repair and proceed with scanning the rest of the body. Once you have found all the leaking spots, turn off the receiver and take out the generator. Disassemble it put everything back in the box. Now call the repairmen and tell them where to apply the repairs. It’s as simple as that. No fuss about it.
