'something to go on?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'leader of investigation probing sign outside rented accommodation' is the wordplay.
'leader of' says to take the initial letters.
'probing' indicates putting letters inside (probe can mean to make a hole in).
'sign outside' becomes 'to' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'rented accommodation' becomes 'let' (a property which is let out).
The initial letter of 'investigation' is 'i'.
'to'+'let'='tolet'
'i' inserted into 'tolet' is 'TOILET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toilet that I've seen before include "Lavatory paper" , "Plumbing fixture" , "Smallest room" , "It means washing" , "Waste disposal unit" .)
