Anybody know why all of a sudden I have a slow leak out of the City Water connection on the outside of the RPod when I have the pump on (and no hose connected?)

Thanks,

It might possibly be the check valve in the pump. But why is the pump running with city water connected?

Thanks for the reply. It turns out to be the check valve just upstream from the city water port. Evidently some sediment caused the seal to leak?

The city water is not connected. The check valve was leaking with pressure in the water lines

Yes, that will do it. You can feel the check valve inside the connection port when you open the cover. I'm glad it was something simple.
