Unfortunately I have carpeting in my bathroom, which will probably come up tomorrow, BUT my problem is that for some reason, the rug is soaking wet in front of the toilet. About 4 inches in front of the base, the rug is wet roughly 2.5 feet x .5 feet. Is it possible that the wax ring is leaking, or maybe it is something else? I'm not familiar with toilets on the ground level, but I know the rug isn't supposed to be wet. The rug is not wet on the sides or back. The toilet is about 18 years old, the flooring of the house even older.
