    Toilet leaking at the base of toilet
    I need help. My toilet is leaking from the base of the toilet, not consistently, about once per day. We have replaced the wax ring, tighten bolts but still continues to leak. We have even turned off the water valve supply and it is still leaks. What can be the problem?:(

    Hello ShazyLady, look at the following:

    1. You may have hair-line crack in the china bowl. Go with your hand / fingernails over the china and feel if you feel a crack. They usually are very tiny and hard to notice visually
    2. Men in your house are "missing" the target
    3. Slowly dripping angle stop, water supply and/or tank connection. Water accumulates around the base of the bowl and travels to the front.
    4. Water leak from shower through shower door/curtain
    5. Main sewer is backing up

    Check those out... Let us know what you've found out... Milo
