How to identify make / model of toilet

My toilet is leaking at the elbow connection of the freshwater supply line. I think that the elbow has a small crack in it. It uses PEX tubing that connects into the elbow. It is a porcelain toilet and uses a foot pedal to flush.

How can I identify the toilet? What special tools are required for dealing with PEX tubing? Can I buy these tools at Home Depot or Lowes etc.?

Thanks!

    Sometimes you can get away with just re crimping the connection using a pair of side cutters.

    OP Here,

    My brothers friend who does bath and kitchen remodeling stopped by and was able to fix it.

    It appears that the crimp was not tight enough. He had all the PEX tools and had it fixed in 2 minutes. Did not require a new elbow.

    Thanks to all that have responded.
