Water Ingress

[jd6257]

I have just noticed pink markings on the inside toilet wall from about the 3ft level and at roof level on my 2009 Compass Rallye 634,
Its higher than the flush tank so assume it is water ingress at roof level and some sort of dye coming out of the wall panel.
It has only just had a service and damp check some 2 months ago with no reported signs of water ingress or panel discolour.
Has anybody experienced this colour /damp problem before.
Look forward to your input.
Regards, John

Hi John, I also have a 634. I did notice some marks around the toilet wall area a couple of years ago. It turned out that because I travelled without draining the toilet flush tank,some of the fluid was finding its way out and leaving coloured marks. It did not appear at roof level though. I now always drain the flush tank before travelling. If you use a pink additive to the flush tank, it may be a possibility.

Hi John .
Im not saying you didnt but it is good advise to drain all water before travelling especially the toilet.
I guess and only guess this being pink it is a good chance it maybe toilet flush, but as it has got so high Im not sure.
One thing I am sure of somebody will come along with the answer.

Thanks chaps,
I have had the flush tank checked out and no signs of leakage or overspill.
I am having a thorough damp inspection carried out tomorrow by a local agent so will keep you updated.

Just an update on the "pink internal panel discolouration".
It was identified as water ingress from the roof transverse joint between the roof and the rear GRP panel.
The pink stain is seamingly from the composition of ot internal wall board.
It has now all been repaird under warranty and hopefully now water tight again.
Off to purchase a damp meter so I can keep a check
Thnaks for your inputs
John
