IMHO The most likely source of the water behind the sink is a leaking/broken city water connection. This part is plastic. It contains a check valve which holds water. If this water freezes it will crack the fitting. Because people tend to hang the city water hose on this connector, it is likely to crack from use/abuse. The next most likely source of the water is a leaky window seal. Look for signs of rust on the inside in the lower rear corner of the window seal. BT,BTTS Larry |
