I just want to clarify my earlier post to avoid any confusion I may have caused.  I have since found out that my helm seat is not the standard seat, so the helm seat leak that I had won’t apply to most C320s. I have a rotating and folding seat mounted on a post fastened to the deck with a type of floor flange.  

The broken bilge pump hose leak would apply, though :)

I also had a water line between the galley and the head leak and "feed" water to the  structural grid. That seep looked like a keel/keel bolt leak, but was not. None of these appeared in the engine pan or propeller shaft areas.

The water gathers under the galley floorboards. No water in the engine well. The back shaft by the engine area dry. Water is coming under and ending up under the floor boards.
