I have a 26','76 Palm Beach, side wet-bath, and the toilet leaks. The toilet is a Traveler by SeaLand Technology, and is not the same as listed in the original manauals that I have, so I have no documentation on repairing it. I've posted some pictures showing the leak.

Basically it leaks constantly from the side flush valve whenever the water pump is on. I couldn't figure out how to get access to anything. There's one small screw visible/accessible, that seems like it might allow release of the shroud around the base, but I pulled the screw and still couldn't get the shroud off, and didn't want to torque on things enough to break the plastic. I could probably get a wrench on the large hex head where the drip is coming from, but without manuals I was concerned about releasing spring tension from the flush valve and having parts go flying...
Any help greatly appreciated...
