Water mystery

Okay, this is driving me crazy. Generally when I read about fresh water tank leaks, its the overflow valve, but my leaks have only been in the same compartment as the tank. It's a 2006 so it's understandable if it's the fittings but they don't seem to be the source.
It actually went away for a while but is now back with a vengeance.
Coincidentally, the water pump is running but not pumping . I did check for an inline filter but doesn't seem to be one..

Sounds like a leak in the line attached to the tank. That could also leak air back to the pump so it won't work. A broken or severely pinched and cracked line near the tank.

If you can't visually inspect the line maybe you can stick your arm and phone in there and take pictures to find the problem. But with a leak and no water I would not hesitate take off panels till I found the problem.

Thanks for your suggestions, pulled the panels off a while ago, thinking about pulling the tank out to check for cracks and redo the connections.. Just figured I'd put it out there incase I missed something..

Sounds like a good excuse to buy one of those endoscopic cameras that you can attach to your phone. I had one and I loved it but it was in the truck that got stolen. Haven't replaced it yet

The inlet filter is just a small screw off cap right on the pump inlet. It's common for it to do it's job and get clogged with debris.

Remove rinse, reinstall.
