So I've got an update and it turns out my problem was actually very simple.
The plastic nut / ring that holds the spud assembly to the bracket was fractured. It became loose and then I leaked water where the spud attached to the plumbing.
I couldn't easily find a replacement so I wrapped it with 2 zip ties around the circumference of the nut and I'm back in action! I included a picture.
The only tricky part was that you can't tighten the zip tie fully until the nut is in its final position and fairly tight because the locking part of the zip tie cannot fit between the gap on the spud and the rest of the plumbing. I kinda turned the nut inside of the zip ties until it was tight then I snugged the zip ties.
Thanks for all your help!
