PT: A leak I cannot get to! What to do in this situation!?

Hi All,
I've discovered a leak somewhere related to the cistern to a toilet upstairs which is hidden behind the tiled wall. I cannot be specific at where this leak is coming from, because the access to it is really restricted. Taking off the wall flush plate, I can get my arm into the area, and can feel that the higher pipe (feed pipe?) seems totally dry, but as I stretch around behind and under the cistern, I feel a lot of wetness. It's ended up dripping through the ceiling into (by chance) the toilet on the ground floor. I've emptied the cistern and make it so it doesn't refill. The dripping/leak has stopped. I'm pretty sure I need someone who is familiar with this setup and how to fix it, but I thought I'd double check first, in case there is something obvious I'm missing regarding how the hell would anyone (a plumber or myself!) would access this kind of setup?

TIA
