Anyone had this problem?
Was it a leaking valve or supply line?
When the system is pressurized water leaks out the bottom of the toilet in the middle in a stream.

Most of the time it is the toilet valve. It's an easy fix with the valve and a new seal usually available on Amazon.

Yes.  I agree.  Good thoughts. 
I have a 2015 rpod.  Not sure of the model number of the Thetford. 
I do not see any mounting bolting holding the unit to the floor. 
How is this toilet removed for valve repair?

There should be two bolts, one on either side just like a conventional toilet. Maybe hidden behind a plastic plug on the base of the toilet. It's been a while since I repaired mine on my R179 when I had it. There might be a Youtube video out there that might help.
