It will probably be a leaking fitting, not the pipes. Start in the bilge and check every fitting. I have also replaced almost all of the fittings on my system that are in the bilge. I think the heat makes them deteriorate faster. So far I have not had to replace any other FWS fittings on the boat that are not in the bilge.
