Flushing wall button leaking water

[Sidikablu]

I have a flushing button in the wall, and no tank, the water comes from a reservoir I have on the roof, and according to how long I press the button it flushes. My issue is , the button in the wall is leaking water when I push it.

A picture would be useful as would the manufacturer of the pushbutton if you know it.

What's behind the wall?

Behind the tile is limestone wall, on the other side of the wall is another bathroom.

The flushing button is basically a tap that only opens when pushed, unless there is an access in the other bathroom then the only answer is to remove the tile and fit a new button.

I have a new problem...I don't have extra tiles to replace. These aren't recently placed. So I won't find matching.

Or the button 'might' screw out and screw a new one in place, the water will have to be turned off first and drained down.

Tried unscrewing the button, it doesn't unscrew. I guess I will just have to go around hoping to match the tile.

You may be better to get a plumber from your local area who understands how these cisterns work.
