Hello mdkiek,
My term 3 way valve was probably poorly chosen. There are several connectors that have 3 lines coming into them. The one I found leaking was at the top and I believe that it was one that was connected to the city water connector. The leak was not visible until the city water was connected and then there was a small leak of water droplets.
Some of these connections are a bit difficult to get tight since, as you noted, there is a maze of plumbing and some blocks access to other areas. The service department did inform me that the connections should be just beyond finger tight. There is a special tool for tightening them but they suggested just use a channel lock pliers and a just a bit of torque.
Hope you find the problem soon.
