Hi

We have a leak when an enclosed toilet is flushed

It leaks from the join between black to white pipe.

Not sure how this is configured. Does the black pipe just go into the white and the jubilee/rubber just holds the white in place?

This has been fine for 10 years but just started leaking.

It only leaks (about an egg cup full) when flushed and doesn't drip when not used

Access is difficult so wanted to see the best approach ideally

Put plumbers mate around it if you're stuck for access.
Perfectly fine to do that if needs must
 
Thanks, will give that go

Not sure why the support bracket is there if the white is a moulded section anyway

I guess the seal has failed so will try your suggestion

Try to find the brand of the cistern. Order replacement rubber, pull the toilet out. Then the black, then replace rubber in the white and put back together.

You d be wise to also replace the pan connector and the flush cone.
