I replaced the valve based on the postings I saw on this board but it appears that the valve was not the problem. Any idea on another reason for the leak?

Did you do it? Gene.

Could it be a faulty water valve? I've removed it and reattached to make sure the connections were correct. Carefully remove the wires from the water valve solenoid. Check if it's still leaking. Measure the voltage at the wire plug. Post the results. Gene.
