    Mystery leak
    Hi, I have a water leak coming from somewhere in-or-around a toilet.
    It only leaks if the water supply is on. The water comes from the bottom, towards the back, where the (rear-discharge, by-the-way) drain is located.
    I've checked all fittings and gaskets that I know of.
    It appears, to me, that it's coming from underneath the toilet...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You'll probably have to pull the toilet & install a new wax seal.

    Also, have you checked the bottom of the tank to see if that's where it's leaking from.

    Cheers, Tom

    Thanks, tom
    Yes, I have checked everything that's possible, except for pulling the tank off.
    It's not leaking 'outside' the tank; could it be possible that the flapper is not seating properly, thus, causing water to over-flow into the drain?
    That being the case, then the leak should be at the wax-seal, or, I'm sure, worse... inside the wall?
    Thanks for the help
