The area around the fresh water pump is very wet to the point it leaked onto the carpet, but in inspecting the connections I can never see anything leaking so I am really confused. The pump is about a year old, I replaced the in-line filter, because it looked as it it may have leaked, but again I see not water coming from anywhere, so I am really stumped. so I was happen I could get some feedback on what could be the problem when nothing can be seen during it's operation. If it matters it is a 83 Pace Arrow.

All feed back is welcomed.

As long as there is no X-thread when you put in new pump it should be OK water does not need much of a path and it may not be a drip it will run down the hose surface itself.
Have you checked the fitting into the fresh water tank and also the drain valve to drain the fresh water tank.

I just replaced my fresh water pump for a similar problem. No leaks at fittings, but when pump was running it had a slight leak under the pump housing. If you can dry everything off then run the pump while watching it closely you should be able to see where it's leaking from. If you can't see, use your fingers to reach under the pump and try to determine the source of the leak. Even if the pump is only 1 year old it could be the source of the leak, it may be a defective pump.
