Re: Antifreeze on toilet bowl
It's definitely a leaking bowl seal. I'm guessing your toilet is a Dometic (Sea Land) brand. There are two possibilities, first is that the seal needs to be "reseated and molded" There is a specific procedure to reseat the seal on the flange, after which you'll need to pour a pan full of hot water into the bowl and let it cool. That will "mold the seal" allowing it to fit better, stopping the leak.
If that doesn't work, then you'll need to replace the seal with a new one and repeat the hot water molding.
Since you've already winterized your trailer, I wouldn't guess you want to pour water into your black tank risking damage from freezing damage from that added water. So, if you can't dump your black tank to rid it of the pan of water, I wouldn't do anything until spring.
If you're warranty will still be in force in the spring, I'd contact the dealership and make an appointment for early spring to have them fix the toilet. Keep in mind that spring is their busiest season, so it might be just as easy to do the fix yourself and if that doesn't work, see if the dealer will give you the seal so you can replace it yourself. Even if he won't give you the seal, cost is only about $15.
The first step, I think, would be to reseat the seal (wear gloves) and do the hot water remold. Chances are that will fix your leak.
ADDED: The instructions on how to reseat and to use hot water to mold the seal are in the owner's manual for the toilet.
