So I should be looking at number 1 in this drawing for it to start bleeding at higher water pressure.http://www.mercruiserparts.com/Show_...r+Drain+System

What could be helpfull in narrowing down the leak location is to tape a piece of paper towel or similar at the the suspect leak points, make a run and then check the paper for wetness. I have located various leak issues this way.
