Water where it should not be - UPDATE
 
Thanks to Ernesto and the associated rain, I have discovered that the  source 
of my water is from above and not from the water tank or stuffing box  drip. 
Went down to check the boat and discovered water in the Storage  Compartment 
next to the hanging locker in the aft cabin had standing water in  it. I can 
see a trickle of water coming down from somewhere above. I started  searching 
for the source but ran into one road block after. Based on what I can  see it 
looks like the source could be the mid-ship cleat, holding tank pump-out,  or a 
possibility it being the rub-rail where the scupper drains water off  of the 
starboard side of the deck. When I first got the boat in 2004 it listed  to 
port a couple of degrees, so no water ever collected on the rail on the  
starboard side. Last year Catalina added some weight on the starboard side and  now 
the boat sits flat. Any hints on gaining access to the starboard side hull  in 
the aft-cabin are appreciated.
