Amana side by side leaks a sizable puddle every hour

I have an Amana side-by-side purchased in 1986. It is leaking water, enough to make a sizeable puddle per hour, from underneath the right front area. The plastic tray underneath the freezer section is dry. If this involves the automatic defrost feature or the ice cube maker water supply, I would like to attempt the repair myself, and will purchase your online book.

To me it sounds like the line feeding the water reservoir. Even though I'd like my book to help you, I'll be honest with you that it doesn't cover this specific repair. These are sometimes very hard to trace especially on your design. If you can't find the source without too much trouble I would suggest calling a tech for this one. Amanas are not very "repair friendly" compared with most other designs. These are actually pretty tough problems.
