240BHSL toilet leak

Hi All, we've had our Kodiak for 3 months now and LOVE it. However on this last trip we developed a leak at the toilet. It only leaks when filling the bowl (pressing pedal 1/2 way). I felt behind the toilet and located the water feed hose, made sure it felt tight and then filled the bowl. The leaks feels like it is coming from above that hose somewhere. Not a big deal as we will just take it in under warranty but I thought I'd check here first to see if it is something simple I'm missing and can take care of myself.
Thanks!
Randy

Could be the fitting or perhaps the hose is not as tight as you think it is.

Get yourself a mirror, (l like the double sided shaving mirror because of the magnification) and a flashlight.

Set the flashlight up so it is shining on the hose and fitting, then use the mirror to check for the score of the leak as you fill the bowl.

Got a better look

So I got in behind there a bit better today and was able to pinpoint the leak. Assuming this is my toilet (I could not find a model ID on it.).
Aqua Magic V Foot Flush Parts
My leak is coming from the top of part #2, the water module assy.
Anyway, I'm guessing the part just needs to be replaced so we'll take it in next week.
I had 2 reasons for posting on here
1)in case others have had this problem and it's an easy fix you could advise me.
2) in case others have this problem in the future and we see a consistent failure of this sort.
Thanks again,
Randy

Update

Just a quick update. Got it into the dealer to be checked out and it was indeed that water module. The dealer had the part in stock and it was repaired by noon that day. All covered under the warranty.

Glad that you got it resolved so fast. If only the rest of the dealers were as quick.
