If it is dribbling liquid you do NOT need a new do dad.
You need to replace the valve blade.
A very easy and inexpensive repair.
If the valve blade is not seated correctly in the closed position water will seep thru.
You might want to try cleaning it first:
With tanks EMPTY....open valve blade and take a brush and clean around the opening. Sometimes toilet paper will be stuck around there preventing the blade from closing correctly allowing seepage.
A correct/cleaned fitting valve blade does NOT leak. And IMHO just another positive reason to use RV chemicals in the tank to breakdown toilet paper so that doesn't happen. :W
