A bit depends on where the drip came from. On one of my previous rigs, the hot water outlet check valve was frozen open, so when I put antifreeze in, it just poured into the hot water tank and out the anode hole.
Yours might be dripping from there, but not frozen quite so open, just not closing as well as it should. It's a small part at the store, and you should possibly change it out when you de-winterize in the spring.
One you didn't mention was the black tank wash line. Sometimes I have heard people empty a hose, then fill it with pink. Then they connect the hose to the wash line input and the outside tap, and run the hose water for a very brief time into the line. The antifreeze in the hose will go into the rig and protect the line.
Good luck.
