I too had one of the wonderfull Aquamagic V toilets. The flush handle shaft seal dried out and leaked odors. No user replaceable parts. New toilet required. I bought a Aquamagic style II, it was the only one that would fit so close to the wall other than another aquamagic V. Much happier.
The problem with the flush handle seal on the Aqua Magic 5 is there isn't one.

I went through EVERY possible cause. The last of which was turning the toilet upside down and filling it with water. The water dripped out from around the flush handle.
I took the handle assembly apart and that's when I saw the grease with no seal. It would have been possible to "repack" it but I didn't want the hassle.
Its a pretty "crappy" design all the way around.
