Any help on a toilet/water pump leaking

I have a 2005 Springdale 179RD

I have removed the cover on the flushing foot peddle and found the water if I turn on the pump to come out the round part the 2 tubes go in to. Is it a simple fix or does it need a new toilet/pump?

Any help would be super helpful.

Water valve, rebuild kits are available but I'd just replace the valve

What brand/model toilet is that? I was thinking it would be Thetford but didn't find a valve like that. The picture below is from one of the Dometic models;

Are you sure it's not coming out of the backside of the hose with worm gear hose clamp? When I blow up that picture it looks like that clamp is not on straight, and slightly off the back of the hose.

Here's a replacement valve for $10.99 https://www.amazon.com/Beaquicy-3853...14594473&psc=1 Seems to me "counterproductive" to try to rebuild a ten dollar part.... Also on that page are several different brands of the same part, so take your pick. The OEM part is also listed, for $58.03..... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C4ZWYIK...xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

My "money would be on the $10.99 part since there's so much other stuff that could lead to a "screw it, replace the whole toilet"..... So,

Awesome that looks identical for 11 bucks worth the chance. You all are super helpful thanks so much. Restoring the 2005 Springdale hasn't been used in several years and had fire damage to the sink from a hot pot.
Currently going through and fixing everything plan on living full time in it.

The most useful thing about the part is that the lower hose is fastened by an OEM looking clamp and a radiator type clamp is where it is leaking. I would move the radiator type clamp a bit outward so it is straight on the hose and re-tighten and see if that fixed the leak before spending $11.
