I've been asked to fix a water leak, in a trailer. There
was water behind the toilet. I found that the white
flexible water line comes in from the side of the toilet,
curves around and ataches to the back of the toilet. The
leaky fitting is about a foot or less from the floor. The
tube comes from the side, and bends up to where it fits
into the toilet.

I'm not sure how many PSI, but the trailer camp has a LOT
of pressure. Open the faucet in the bathroom sink, and get
a belly shower.

Some kind of a nut at the end of the tubing where it meets
the toilet. Perhaps a compression fitting. i reached around
and tightened the nut. Then towel up the water, and can't
find any more leaking.

Two days later, get called back for the same toilet leaking
around back.

What to do now? I've considered some teflon tape, and
considered take that all apart and dope it up good with
Rectorseal #5. What has worked, for you?

Thanks, in advance.

Given the cost of the parts versus the cost of repeat trips,
I'd put in a new toilet fill assembly and a new supply line.
Probably looking at what, less than $15 in parts?
