Where is your water heater? It may be in that general vicinity.
Basically what Vulcan suggested is about all you can do—hunt down where the water is coming from, either by looking from the outside or digging around the inside. The plumbing is usually somewhat accessible from cabinets etc.; you may have to remove drawers or unscrew certain access panels inside to see things.
Does the pump run continuously when it's on but not taps are open? It should shut off once the system is pressurized, and not run until you draw water from somewhere. Anything else indicates a leak. (Sometimes the pumps do leak a bit at the check valve built into the pump, in which case it may run for a second or so every half hour without water leaking anywhere externally. If that is the case, it's nothing to really worry about too much.)
