Help! water leak under the front driver side of my 2017 320S. I noticed the leak after I put water in fresh tank and turn on the faucet and water pump. There is no visible leak from under the sink. I checked the water pump and it is working and no leak around it. My best guess is that the leak is under the water pump. How do you access the hose/plumbing under the water pump? Thank you

    Thanks ScottG. I fixed it! It was so easy after I cut out 11X13 wall.

    @Marco, do tell!

    What was the source of the leak? how did you fix it? Did you end up making an access panel like I did?

    I suspect as these units age and need inevitable repairs, getting into that space is going to become a more popular topic.

    ScottG I did the same thing, Cut an access approximately 11 x 14", removed the toilet. The leak was coming from the connection inside to city water hookup. It came loose so all I did was tightened it. Easy fix! Saved myself at least 500$ going to the dealer. I covered the wall  with a plastic board from Hdepot (6$). Now I have an access going to water pump.
    Thank you so much!!!
