isolate water to the cistern ,unscrew the conector on the outside of the cistern and in there you will find a small washer,probably perished,replace this tighten all back up .you can get a new washer from any diy store .just check that the water is from the connection and not from the solderd joint ,if its leaking from there then you will need the plumber grrrrrrrrrr.
