Jan 3 at 17:00 comment added Ukko @cd234 I see you have a bidet attached to the toilet. Could it be that there is a leak in the piping for that?
Jan 3 at 16:27 comment added Steve Wellens Note the moisture is perfectly aligned with the shutoff valve meaning it's directly aligned with the water supply pipe....if the supply pipe is coming from above. Hopefully, the leak (if it is a leak) is way upstream,dripping down the pipe, and just happens to be touching the wall at that location and the leak is in a place you have access to.

Jan 1 at 6:18 comment added cd234 I've added pictures of what it looks like with the lid off (the lid is usually left on) . I don't particularly see any signs of condensation on the inside. Also attached is a picture of the wall right behind the commode so you can see how far down the wall the damp line runs (annotated the level with a red arrow) The toilet is on the 1st floor of a 2 story home. However, on the 2nd floor, there are no drain pipes right above this toilet that I can think of (there is a game room right above).

Dec 31, 2023 at 23:06 comment added Rohit Gupta Is there a continuation of this dampness downwards behind the toilet as well ? If so, there is a tiny leak inside the cistern that is spraying water out.
Dec 31, 2023 at 23:06 comment added brhans Can you ad a pic of (and behind) the tank with the lid off?
Dec 31, 2023 at 22:42 comment added crip659 That is odd. A water supply line is always under pressure, so a leak is constant. A drain line is not under pressure so a leak depends on use, but going up is very weird, pumps required. Are there drain(toilets/sinks/tubs) pipes for above this floor?
