I had a 04 Alfa that I battled the same kind of leak. A few months before trading it in I found out what was causing my leak. Checking the outside water line & solenoid I found that the clear plastic water line that is incased in a black plastic tube, along with some electrical wires, which goes from the solenoid to the inside/ice maker, was where the leak was coming from. The way this was routed by the heating coils caused the clear plastic line to basically disintegrate, but you couldn't see it because of the black casing. I found this out by slitting the black casing and having the ice maker cycle through and found the leak. The more ice used, the bigger the leak/puddle.

Hope this helps, Gordon.
