CS34 Head Leak

Since we have had Still Time, the head has been leaking clean water when left for a bit.  Overnight their might be a cup of water on the floor.  The head functions correctly, pumps clean water from the lake fine, and pumps black water to the holding tank without any issues.

Went to Nat's Marine and Ron suggested that there may be crack in the housing of the head (toilet).  This morning I took a look, and found a crack in the water supply hose:


View from behind head
You can see drops of water coming down the hose and under the head base. Good thing I discovered this because if the hose let go, the boat could sink because the head is under the waterline.
The hose runs about 18" from the head to under the sink beside it to the water intake seacock; will be an easy repair.  Got 2ft of replacement hose at lunch from Nat's
