  Carpet is wet in the aft cabin that I think is coming from the sink, anybody had this problem?

  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?
