Vacuflush Vacuum Breaker

I noticed some antifreeze leaking around the base of the toilet, I cleaned it up and it was back a couple days later. It looks like the leak is coming From the vacuum break at the top, behind the toilet seat. Not much room to remove it, I’m guessing the toilet has to be unscrewed to move it out? Has anyone replaced one of these? Any tips? Also, what model VacuFlush toilet is this?

Actually, instead of removing the screws at the base, it looks like it would be easier to remove the half clamp to separate the bowl from the base?

I took the half clamp off today and it looks like the grommet that the vacuum breaker slides into was leaking. Wasn’t fun but at least it gives me a chance to clean everything up. I believe a new vacuum breaker will come with the grommet, should be around $30-$40.

Hey Aero - Revive old thread here....
Looks like a Dometic 140 series toilet. Mine is the same.

Just replacing my vacuum breaker too. Every flush is a geyser. Top of the beaker is split. Poor design.
Your leak was just the grommet into the bowl? Or was the plastic breaker cracked?

My leak was just the grommet.

Did a search on these vacuum breakers....guess they split at the top all the time. Good to keep an eye on.
