Hi Guys, I have a vacuflush head and recently have noticed fresh water leaking from under the head and on to the floor.

I have been diligent with winterizing and using baking soda in the fresh water tank. Any thoughts as to the cause and how to fix. I think their is only a small active leak when the water pump is on.

The 15mm connector has failed. I have replaced mine too.
 
Had a similar leak with mine. Upon inspection, noticed water dripping from the bottom on the water supply valve. Tried tightening the water hose fitting but the leak persisted. It ended up being the water supply valve housing just past the threads where the pressurized water connects had developed a crack.

Got a new valve and it was fine. Just take some paper towels and with the guts in plain view dry everything off and watch for the source of your leak.
