I found leaks at the PB manifold. I reported them but what is with the blue dye? Any ideas?

Also, if you blow up this picture you will see grass clippings and frogs in the sump pit. There were other signs of past flooding in this basement. Do you think the frogs and grass clippings got in there from the flood? How else would they get in there?

I'm with John on the Blue/Green color.

As for the frogs and grass clippings; I would say that they came in through that pipe on the side of the sump, and if this is the case it could be that the pipe is connected to a drain outside and this is a problem. But, if you could see other signs of water in the basement, I would report that as well.

After thought; If you look at this condition long term the blue corrosion means acidic water, which means down the line the entire copper system will get corrosion pinholes. They really need a water treatment system that will take the Ph down to an acceptable level.

If not from the drain as others have mentioned, perhaps the owner has young children and the sump is their "frog pond"?
