I know it is really a chore to pull the tank, but that may be the only way to determine where the leak is actually occurring. If it's on the bottom, it has to come out anyway. While you may have enough of an opening to get a camera or even an inspection mirror down in the tank, it unlikely you would have enough room to reach in and do an acceptable repair. Fiberglass repair is easy, but it requires some sanding around the bad spot, cleaning with acetone and laying in fiberglass cloth saturated with resin, and you need to see what you are doing as well.
UPDATE! After further disassembly, I can see how to get the tank out. I'll have to drop the grey tank to remove the long pipe, and get the toilet flange out of there, and then slide the tank out of this opening. Do-able.
How does the toilet flange come off the shower pan and black tank? I don't want to break this obviously hand-laid fiberglass tank.
What kind of spray lube is safe to use on these rubber couplers?
