Name the first location
Describe toilet inlet, small fixture inlet or discharge connection if known. Keep use stopped if leakage continues and avoid handling contaminated water.
Assess the route
An engineer can consider seals, movement and pipe alignment alongside the appliance. Do not apply a temporary covering that hides the joint before inspection or assume every leak needs a new unit.
A useful distinction
Pipe movement can strain a connection even when the appliance housing is intact. The visible relationship between joint and support can therefore matter, but should be assessed without loosening contaminated pipework.
