I can see most of the pipes in the basement, except where they go behind the washing machine. The only spots the water could be coming from that also had pipes going to them were the washing machine and the toilet (and the toilet is at a low spot in the floor, so if the water did come through the wall, it'd collect there anyhow -- the washing machine is against the same wall).
Question: if the leak were in fact in one of my pipes, it wouldn't mysteriously stop again without intervention, would it?
Well, the pipes most likely are not the problem. But I do know the drains can be. If the wax seal under the tolent isn't working properly that can create a leak every time it is flushed, cracks the the drain pipe on the washing machine can also cause a on/off leak. Lastly if you have a drain in the floor or the main drain from your house is partly blocked (roots, partly broken pipe) this can cause a slowing of the water draining from your home. As such a basement level tolent could back flow is the valume of the water exceeds the drain rate.
