[VAC] Toilet leak
Hello everyone,
I purchased a 1965 Caravel recently and, as seems to always be the case,
its quality was misrepresented. In fact I paid a premium price for a
trailer in A-1 condition and got a restoration project with a polish
job. My inexperience got me good on this one.
Anyway, I am currently starting on the toilet leaks. The label on the
side of the toilet reads:
Townsend Products Corporation
Mod. 900-C
Code App. W.P.O.A. T-1085
There is a plunger rod at the rear of the toilet which goes up into the
water tank. When I flush the toilet, there is a leak around this rod.
Does anyone know where I might find the replacement gasket needed?
Also, after flushing the toilet 6 to 8 times, I found that there is a
small puddle of water on top of the black water tank. I have yet to
discover the source of this leak, but I suspect that I will need to
remove the toilet and replace the seals underneath. Any advice on this
process would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete
