No need to remove the cabinets. (yet)
Open the rear "flat cupboard" and take all your books and junk out so
you can access the floor of the cupboard. Remove the 2 screws that
hold the metal plate in and remove the plate. Voila! The water tank is
exposed. You can remove the tank lid to inspect and clean.
Your leak is probably where one of the sensor wires goes into the tank,
or maybe a hose that's damaged. You can access pretty much all
you need through that cabinet floor, unless the tank itself is damaged
and needs to come out. New hoses can be fished through without
removing the cabinets. (BTDT, mine were disgusting inside)

The city water connects straight to the faucet, and not through the
tank. It's probably safe to use it until you get the tank thing fixed.

Good Luck,
Steve
