I hope this doesn't violate any rules here. This is a link to Youtube video where a USGS spokesman states the Leilani vent is it's own eruption and not an extension of Kilauea. He also states the lava's chemistry is similar to Kilauea's and that although there are no absolutes, there is no activity at Kilauea aside from what appears to be the crater collapsing upon itself.
Im searching for another similar video where the question was asked outright whether Leilani is the new Kilauea. The spokesman for USGS stated there are no definitive answers but that the events occurring suggest that it is a possibility.

I no longer live in Kapaau. I live on Molokai and its fricken awesome here. I still own a lot in Upper Puna though and have spent lots of time in Puna. An amazing place.
Aloha,
Michael
