Never worked on an rv ice maker but have on residential. The timer sends a signal to element tray, heats the tray slightly, the arms scoop the ice out, the timer powers the solenoid to send water to the tray.
The solenoids may have push lock fittings for the plastic lines. You really wont know what is leaking until you actually see it. It may necessitate having the frig backside in view to see what is leaking. It could be the solenoid or a push lock connector etc. I agree on having stuff that dont work. Especially when it's now taking up room and not working. As he said above be sure the tray drain is open also.
Page 57 shows the valve. Only other idea I have is could it have a spec of crud stuck in the solenoid valve seat? It would seem that the tray would over fill. But then you said the water was in back? So again need to see the valve area while under pressure or during the fill cycle.
