Errant staple in water line

Wow all the leaks. Here's another. Actually two. The flush valve was leaking into the Dometic toilet in my Greystone 32RE. I have a new valve to replace it when I find time. When I removed the valve from the toilet base earlier to try to stop the leak I pulled the hose up through the escutcheon to get more movement. I found that an errant staple used to anchor it to the floor had pierced the hose. I didn't notice a leak earlier probably because the staple had sealed the hole. When removed---leak. The plate had enough stables to put up a wall and one went off wild and right through the hose. I'm sure in time the staple would have rusted though and I would have had a leak. I guess I was lucky, one problem found another. Beware the hidden.
