Its built into or directly attached to the outlet of the water pump. If it failed water would back flow through the pump to your fresh water tank. They normally don't fail. Have you checked the inlet screen housing? It can be cracked and leak under pressure which it normally will not see being on the suction side of the water pump.

There shouldn't be any pressure at the inlet screen housing as it is on the suction side of the pump to protect the pump. The worst thing that can happen if it is cracked is the pump will suck air and when the pump shuts off the water in the suction line from the fresh water tank will flow back to the tank and the pump will need to prime again.

Rob - you are correct. However when he mentioned he ran the pump while on city water that the check valve could have stuck open subjecting the filter to pressure and the leak he is looking for. I had a check valve some how fail and it blew my screen housing apart very quickly. Strange thing is after the bust the valve was fine.

I did the test for two huors and the pump didn't turn on.
I'm suspecting I have a leak higher in the gray tank or the drain system because it seems that the water lines under presurce and tight sealed.
Any other suggestions?

I'm thinking to close the unerbelly and reopen if the problem comes back. I connected city water and run the water pump at the same time for troubelshooting in attepmt to replicat what happen before but there was no loeak. The only test I didn't do is filling the grey completely to check if there is any leak up higher. What do you think?

Here is an update, I filled up Gray 2 (Gray 1 is for shower and bathroom sink, gray 2 is kitchen only). I started to see steady stream leak but just when the tank gauge showed full not before. I wish I could post picutres but the underbelly is open just enough to peek not to reach with my phone to take a picture. I took out about 10 gallons from the dump valuve using a bucket and the leak stopped! That tell me that the problem is up higher either in the tank, the sensonr fitting, or the drain fittig.
I can take it to the dealership where I bouthgt it from, but the first opening they have is mid February. Other dealerships we called are 2-3 months out in Arizona. I don't want to wait that long. Poor craftmenship and bad luck!
What you guys think? Any suggestions?

So this is an interesting post as I have an Imagine XLS 23BHE as well and had a similar experience. For me I noticed the leak coming out of the underbelly by where the low point drains are for the hot/cold water lines. It wasn't leaking from those lines however. I do know that my grey tank was full so I emptied it and have not experienced this issue again but I was thinking that it had to do with the gray tank being too full.
