water leak suggestions?

[davidkerryedwards]

I'm still hoping I can avoid a complete replacement at the moment
since we have plans to travel in the near future. I found the general
area of the broken pipe outboard of the water tank under the left bed.
I'll try to figure out which of the three pipes it is and fix or
replace. Do you know what the three pipes serve? Why 3?
