Hi Jack,
uninsullated ductwork is a major problem on pre 1994? Manufactured homes, once the ductwork has started sweating both the insullation and the fllor are likely to be toast, I wouls recommend removing the moisture barrier (if fitted) and replacing the insullation, this will also give you the opportunity to properly evaluate the subflooring which I suspect will also be in very poor shape.

It could also be from many leaks in polybutylene plumbing pipes. I certainly wouldn't rule it out.
