Weird issue - every morning I go outside and I see a small wet patch on the driveway under the water fill point (not under the drain). occasionally I can even see water dripping there. it's discoloured the checkerplate under the fill point. the tanks aren't full, the van is level. any idea what/why it's doing it?

Condensation at night out of the breather condensing behind the filler cap to to drip, well thats my guess, I notice it's wet around my caps but don't seem to have any drips but mines are normally chock a block full.

So today was working on the van getting ready for a northwest trip in a few weeks and noticed the water dripping. Opened up the hatch and it was dripping out of the mains line, not the tank lines or breathers.

It obviously wasn’t connected to mains.

Any ideas?

Is your water pump turned on? I could be tank water being forced by the pump past a dodgy non return and out the mains. Pretty common fault

More than likely the O ring in the Non return valve which is incorporated into that white hose fitting, it's possibly just starting to distort, leak gets worse when you turn on water pump, most have pulled the fitting off, dismantled the NRV and refitted the hose nozzle and used a John Guest NRV fitted just after the nozzle.
