water leak around kitchen sink

Mystery to solve..? I have had a slow water leak around the bottom corner of my kitchen sink near the steps for 3 months. I have taken it to 2 Campingworlds for other things and have told them about the leak. They don't know where water is coming from. There is a sequence to events that might be clues. 1. I defrosted my freezer and had bought 2 styrofoam chests for the food and keep them for future defrosts and placed them in the long storage bin outside of my 2005 Jayco greyhawk. The storage bin says LOW POINT DRAIN. I noticed that this storage area has never stayed dry recently ... it stays damp and wet but not soaked. The other day I noticed 2 inside plugs with numbers on them ? 2. Because I have been traveling with my job... on one of my stops .. the water pump in my cabinet in the bathroom went on and I couldn't turn it off-- I have NO water in my water storage compartment and emptied it soon after I bought my used 2005 Jayco 2 years ago ? So why did it go off I had to call a RV tech and he told me how to turn off noise and disconnect it because I don't need it right now. But the light stays on and I can't turn it off. ? That was the second thing that happened. 3. The 3rd clue is why that low point staorge stays wet and is located below my hot water heater outside ? All 3 of the RV techs checked they said the shower , refrigerator and I think they said water heater. So why am I still having water leaking off and on around the floor of the sink cabinet which all those lines were checked also by me and techs ... no leaks. There is another thing and I hope it is not related is I have had some areas in walking uneven tiles when walking only felt from refrigerator and shower walking area. But I don't know if thats from all the moisture and rain I have gone through and I am in a campsite in Cape Cod which has a lot of moisture. I just ordered 2 dehumifers and have small floor granules dehumifiers. I know this is very lengthy but I need help because I am isolated with RV Repair men and I don't want anything MAJOR water PROBLEM TO HAPPEN. I DO HAVE THIS DIRECT QUESTION ---Did I hit or knock anything to do with that storage department on the outside of my RV ---Those valves?? Thanks, Diane

    Paragraphs are helpful.

    I will leave the rest to more experienced troubleshooters.
