LEAK HAS DEVELOPED FROM CISTERN INLET PIPE VALVE\FLEXI-HOSE

[PHIL269]

Hi,
Appreciate any help with this please.
All of a sudden my toilet has started to leak from inlet valve
pipe thread where it goes into the bottom of the cistern bowl.
I tried to seal it with fornex lsx by putting it on the thread which
has stopped it but now the leak has moved to the flexi-hose
and is coming out of the flexi metal collar where it meets the nut of the flex-hose connector that screws onto the inlet valve pipe.

Any ideas how to stop this please.
Thanks for any help as I am a novice at plumbing.

If it's definitely coming out of the hose itself (out of the collar) you need a new one, there is no fix once they go. Make sure you buy the correct length of hose and the same connections either end.

When fitting, make sure it does not cross-thread and don't over-tighten. Hand tight plus a little nip up ( you can always tighten a bit more if it starts to leak) but don't over do it.
