Ok, you may not have to take the toilet out.
Dry everything as best you can. With the top off flush the potty and see where the water is coming from.
There are two likely culprits. The first and easiest is that the sequencing valve is an o ring joint to the vacuum breaker. And the vacuum breaker is an o ring joint to the potty. If the leak is in one of those two joints, then replace the o rings, lube with silicone, and assemble carefully. The alignment is critical and finicky.
The second likely leak is the sequencing valve, IF you have one of the old black ones. The newer grey ones are much more robust.
Turn off all water and bleed the air before unscrewing the top on the sequencing valve.
Stare at the manual to orient yourself with the parts and nomenclature.
