[C320-list] cycling water pump

The only sure fix I can think of is to replace the entire piece of tubing.? Just remove the whole section, measure and replace.

I have found a small leak in a pipe under the sink and near the stupid trap door 
that is too short to access the problem.  When water pressure is on the pump 
cycles about every thirty seconds and if we leave it on it will get damp to wet 
under the sink.  It is very inconvenient but I have not figured a way to stop 
the leak.  I took everything, including the drawers out but could not remove the 
old pressure hose that was leaking.  Maybe you are having the same problem.  I'd 
love to fix it but don't know how, I bet if that stupid trap door was taller I 
could access it and easily remove it.  Anybody have an idea, even a way to seal 
the leak without replacing the hose, I'm all ears.  I had a similar leak on the 
hot side when the boat was new, but that was on the other side near the front 
and I was able to access and easily replace the pressure hose.
