A leak probably wouldn't cause a "sudden" drop in pressure. It sounds more like the system has more users than it can supply and pressure drops when someone else turns on their shower or flushes their toilet.
If you are looking for a leak, and you can build up the pressure inside the thing, there are two ways you can find the leak pretty effectively. You can either submerge the object under water (if it won't damage the object), and look for bubbles rising through the water from the leak. This is very effective for finding leaks in inner tubes and tires, for instance. If the object can't be submerged underwater for some reason, then apply a little soapy water to the areas that you suspect the leak to be. If you see soap bubbles growing, that is where the leak is!
A leak in the slab is an under ground stream or broken line under the slab. It is NOT the same as a belly in a sewer line.

Code P0442: Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (small leak) One common cause for this can be a loose or poorly sealing gas cap. Also there is supposed to be a soft rubber o-ring type gasket on the gas cap, that seals against the filler neck. If it is missing or damaged it may leak. Old, dried, and cracked rubber hoses anywhere in the system may also account for the leak.
Water coming from under the toilet could be originating from a leak in the water supply line, a faulty wax ring seal, or a crack in the toilet bowl or tank.
It can stink if it is not flushed or it is dirty. In some cases, there could be a leak at the base, and the standing water around the toilet has an odor.
Yes, if the toilet tank screw is leaking, it can cause water to leak from the toilet tank.
Yes, a leaking toilet underneath can be fixed by identifying the source of the leak, which could be a faulty wax ring, loose connections, or a cracked toilet base. Once the source is identified, the necessary repairs can be made to stop the leak.
A common reason for a toilet to leak at the base intermittently is a worn out wax ring that seals the connection between the toilet and the floor. This can happen due to age, shifting of the toilet, or improper installation. It is important to replace the wax ring to prevent further leaks and water damage.
Common signs of a toilet leak include water pooling around the base of the toilet, a constantly running toilet, and a noticeable increase in water bills. To fix a toilet leak, you can try tightening the bolts at the base of the toilet, replacing the wax ring, or calling a plumber for professional assistance.

Then, inspect the toilet for the source of the leak, which could be from the tank, bowl, or connections.

Wouldn't that depend on the type of toilet valve and where the leak is coming from that would dictate the type of repair?
Usually not. If toilet has a mixing valve going to it so warm water fills toilet tank and toilet runs constantly, then enough warm water could leak out through toilet to possibly have an effect on water heater.
To stop a leak in the toilet, locate the shut-off valve behind or near the toilet and turn it clockwise to close it. This will stop the flow of water to the toilet and prevent further leaking.
You can find a solution for a leak from under the toilet by checking the wax ring seal and tightening the bolts at the base of the toilet. If the leak persists, you may need to replace the wax ring or seek professional help from a plumber.
