Timing separates them: seepage follows the weather and spreads along the footing, whereas a leaking line runs steadily whatever the sky is doing and stays close to its own path. In attached homes a wet patch on your side can also be fed from the other half, which is worth ruling out before anyone starts chasing the foundation.

Follow the cold supply from each tank back toward the meters, and match it to the meter registered to your address rather than trusting any tag on the tank.
