[A/S] Water leak



Ok folks, I need some ideas.  When my 1976 Safari is hooked to city 
water I am getting a leak.  Mechanic friend said it was the check valve 
under the sink that wasn't shutting (I know nothing about this so talk 
back to me in lay term please) so it was replaced.  Now once the city 
water is connected and there is pressure I am still getting a leak 
underneath - and it isn't a drip!  :)  I can't see anything leaking at 
all.  Any ideas?  Is there something that is the first thing that goes 
wrong that maybe I can trouble shoot?  

Like I said, I am not well versed mechanically, however better than my 
husband who isn't allowed to change the oil on the lawn tractor so I am 
the designated mechanic of the family.  I needed his brute strength 
yesterday to loosen some bolts and did put a new alternator belt on my 
83 El Camino.  Piece of cake!  As I do more and more little things my 
confidence builds!  

And I still have that 73 Cortez Motor Home for sale if anyone is interested.  
A real collectible!  Running too!
