Toilet leaking.

Dometic 301 toilet water leaking from flush lever.. is this the valve causing this? I end up with a puddle on the floor over night. It starts to accumulate around the hold down stud and then flows to floor.

Anytime my water valve leaked, it was always right where the water enters the toilet.

It’s about $40 and 10-minute swap, so it’s not terrible to give it a shot if you want to try anyway.

You can pop off the cover on the end of the flusher arm with a screw driver and that will reveal the inner workings. Don't see how water can get into the flush lever area unless there is a crack somewhere.

Have you experienced below freezing temperatures for more than a day? Even if you blow the plumbing out with air you can still have enough water in the flush valve to crack it if it freezes. Less than 1/2 teaspoon of water will crack the valve when it freezes.
