Well, the water leak is fixed. The valve was super-easy to replace. No one with fewer than ten thumbs, but more than one, should pay to have that done.

I have the ball valve and seal in hand (to make the bowl retain water between uses), and it looks like that'll be easy too. But the instructions call for the use of silicone grease on the ball shaft o-rings, and no silicone grease is supplied. Have you ever tried to buy silicone grease locally? It's a form of unobtainium. So, after half a day spent driving around, I ordered some on eBay and it'll be here in a couple days, I hope.
