Water leak

Once again I have a water leak that’s soaked my basement floor.
I know that I’m going to have to replace the water pump. After using the campground water, and the pump turned off, the fresh water tank starts to fill. Since Friday I’ve had to drain it 4 times.
Now I can’t find the leak that’s soaking the basement. All the fittings are tight and I’m not finding any wet lines. Any suggestions?

Having the fittings tight will not guarantee you will stop a leak. In each one of the fittings is a cone washer that can get distorted and will leak no matter how tight the fitting. Get some of the cone washers and replace them. You also need to verify that the fittings don't have a hairline crack in them, and hopefully you are using a quality water pressure regulator.

BobBecky, if the hoses, fittings, or washers had been wet, I would have suspected them to be the problem. Since they were all dry, I had to do some further searching for the problem. Because the floor was saturated I knew it was no small leak, but I did find it on the bottom of the water pump.
So, another problem solved.
Thank you for your help.
I will be keeping an eye on those fittings
In the mean time, I need to let the basement dry out.
