I once flew on a 200 to the Caribbean. The entire section of toilets , middle IIRC, were taped off as they were leaking fluid all over the floor. This happened soon after t/o and the flight continued to its destination. Stewardess's frequently mopping up the blue fluid with paper towels and blankets. By the time we landed the leak had expanded from the toilet area into several rows of seats. Blue footwear now being worn by those unfortunates whose seats were in that vicinity.
