The fill vlave is the only place it could be leaking in. It puts water in both the black tube and the tank via the greay tube.
But the leak point is the washer under the pin under the top black cap.

Okay so the the water comes up the grey tube, through the float valve, and from there it goes into the black tube AND also somewhere else?
I feel like if it was an issue with the washer then pressing on the lever to force a tighter seal should have stopped the leak, but it didn't. I didn't see any obvious signs of wear, cracking, or nicks on the washer. I'll try replacing the washer and see if that helps. If it doesn't then could there be a leak in the grey pipe itself?

The water comes up the center of the grey tube and then allows water into the tank through the outer portion of the grey tube -- you need to replace the fill valve completely or replace just the top portion to stop it from filling higher.

The bottom of the grey tube lets water leak out of the grey tube into the tank. Replace the grey tube and whatever else comes with it. $13 tops.
