A poor supply line connection or poor bowl to tank/floor connection.
Troubleshooting a Leaking Toilet
1. Test the flapper.
Push the flapper down using a stick immediately when you hear the water running. If the water stops running, this is an indicator that the flapper is not sealed properly. It may be time for a replacement.
Check the fill tube length and cut about ½ an inch above the water line.
Shut off the water supply valve under the toilet or the main water supply. Unhook the old flapper after you have drained most of the water from the toilet by flushing it. Use a new flapper and hook the flapper chain onto the flush lever arm, making sure there is a little slack when the flapper is closed.
2. Check the fill valve for a leak.
Flush the toilet and check if the fill valve is leaking. Lift the toilet float arm to check if the tank is filling, or if the water has stopped flowing. Adjust the toilet float arm to stop the tank from filling. Do this when the water level is at ½ to 1-inch below the top of the overflow pipe. If the fill valve still leaks, you will have to replace it with a new one.
3. Remove and replace the old toilet fill valve.
Turn off the main water supply and then flush the toilet. Sponge the remaining water from the tank and disconnect the water supply line. Proceed to unscrew the fill valve lock nut and lift out the old fill valve to remove it completely.
4. Install the new fill valve.
Insert the new fill valve in to the tank and tighten the locknut. Make sure that the overflow pipe is not higher than the critical level mark.
5. Connect the fill tube.
On one end of the new fill tube, attach the fill valve nipple and to the other end, attach the enclosed angle adapter. Clip the angle adapter onto the overflow pipe. Finish the installation process by attaching the flapper chain to the flush lever. Be sure to turn on the water and test how the flush is.
