Sink drains are typically just flex hoses attached with hose clamps that drain overboard via a thru-hull. And depending on age and climate some hoses develop dry-rot and micro-cracks. Have you visually checked to make sure sure all of the connections are tight and secure while running water down the drain?

You can also have a loose fresh water connection leaking, but that you would notice if your system doesn't stay pressured when turned on.

Again, both require a visual inspection to get a better idea of the source.

My boat has pumps that pump the water out becuse the shower and sink are below the water line

The shower in the head has a floor drain that indeed goes to a pump, but your sink is not below the waterline and that drain typically comes out a thru-hull fitting on the starboard side of your boat. That is unless you or a previous owner re-did the plumbing.

Have you pulled out the little storage compartment under your sink and looked inside at how the plumbing is routed?

Thanks I'll take a look at all the fittings I can get to.

Check the air conditioner pan. it drains to the engine bilge and if it's clogged, it can overflow and soak the carpet.
