Jim those lines run under the 'hump' under the stove and follows the port side of the hull into the galley where the hot water heater is...good luck...

Thanks for all the great suggestions. Still leaking. Here is what I did yesterday. 
1.Pulled the cabinet in the galley. pressurized the system. No leaks. 
2. Checked the shower connections in the cockpit. No leaks. 
3. Checked valve on the hot water heater. Closed 
4. Checked the tank lid. Looks good. 
5. I then completely removed the aft tank. Filled it with water on the dock. No leaks. 
6. Ran a separate line from the aft tank directly to the pump. Pressurized the system. One hour later, all the water was in the bilge again! 
I noticed that the lines from the pump run into a rabbit hole going forward to the galley. Is there any way to gain access to those lines? Looks like they run under the fiberglass and the ice box. I have two friends coming over today to help me search for the leak. I'm thinking I may have to run a new line from the forward tank to the pump as well as my next step. 
If and when I find the problem, this will be one for the books! 
Thanks again for all your help. You guys are great.
