Hi.
If you are sure it isn't from a through-hull leaking, two possibilities
come to my mind.
1) the keel joint may be leaking. Best fix is to drop the keel and
re-bed it
2) hairline crack at the leading edge of the keel, from grounding damage.
Loosen off the rig to lessen the downward force the mast is applying to
the mast step and see if the flow changes. If it does I'd guess #2.
I don't think you can do a definitive conclusion on this with the boat
in the water.
Good luck!

I have recently purchased a 29 MK II. There are no visible signs of
hull damage below the waterline, yet I have a leak that is entering
from a small sealed sump directly under the mast. It is entering the
bilge from the drain holes in the stringers just forward of the main
bilge sump. The leak has become more than a nuance as the volume of
water entering the bilge has increased from a trickle to a steady flow
over the sailing season. Any thoughts on what the cause may be or more
importantly, the remedy.
