I just drained my fresh water tank and purified it with bleach and water on my 220 DA. After I drained the tank, I added some vinegar and water to get the bleach smell out of the water. While cleaning the aft cabin, I noticed water was leaking on the port side. The bottom of the wall fabric and cushions were wet. I'm going to look for the leak today. does anyone have an idea where the leak may be?

Where is the pump mounted? Thats where I would start.
If the FW tank & HW heater are on the port side and the pump is mounted on that bulkhead in the engine compartment, then follow the supply lines from the tank(s) to the pump & then from the pump toward the port side of the boat to supply the galley sink.
 
Thanks mwph, I checked the tank, pump etc. I ended up finding the leak. It was at the fresh water filler opening. water was leaking around the collar where the hose attaches to the fitting. I had to pull the cabin panel off to access it.
