It turned out the water was coming from a tiny pinhole in the pipe that runs along the back wall in the bathroom.  The one with the paneling over it and goes between the outside storage and under the sink.

That's good/bad.. should be an easy fix.. sucks to have an actual failure in the supply line. Could you tell if a staple of screw caused the damage?

Yep .It was a staple. One staple was rusty and inside the pipe around the hole was a bunch of rust also .  Must have just finally corroded enough to break the seal it had.   Pipe is 1/2" .the fittings/elbows have to be replaced .impossible to get the pipe off the fittings without messing them up .   I suppose I'll put some brass ones on there

Is there room for a gatorbite push fitting? Just cut right there where the staple damage is at, then insert the push fitting?
