my toilet flushes fine and the water comes up to the water level in the tank and stops, but 40 seconds later you can hear the sound of water leaking or maybe slowly going back out of the opening. There is no water on the floor, wall, fittings or on the tank. What's going on here>
My toilet keeps running. I take the lid of the tank off and mess with the float and it turns off. What do I need to adjust to fix the problem?

You need to bend the float rod down. Do not grab the float ball to do this but with one hand ahead of the float ball and the other at the connection of the rod and ballcock bend the rod down. That should do it but if it doesn't the ballcock needs to be replaced. Good luck Tom
