Are there pipes or fixtures above the spot where you see it leaking from the wall? I would check them all wherever you can acces the pipe. We just had our water heater replace - at first thought it was the dishwasher because I kept finding puddles at the front of the diswasher. The w.h. was leaking and running beneath the kitchen cabinet about 8' away along the same wall.

Does the sink have a single handle faucet? If yes, here's something to look at. My kitchen sink's American Standard faucet developed a leak within the base, right below where the neck swivels back & forth. For some reason, it didn't drip directly down through the hole in the counter. Instead, it came out near the corner of the sink. I initially assumed it was just splashed water, and that the seal was worn out between the sink and the counter. Checked with a level and found that the whole counter's very slightly tilted toward the leak.

Sorry if this adds another level of mystery. :)

thanks for the help but at this point it seems the 185.00 is worth it lol. i well let everybody now that happens Trek
