Stumped? Have you tried to find/fix the leak without success? That would be "stumped".

I'm thinking your were "surprised". You saw a leak that you were unaware of - that "surprised" you.

Other than that I won't even attempt to speculate where the leak is coming from over the internet with the information provided.
