    Toilet is leaking ?
    Good Morning,
    I am new to this site and just stumbled upon on. I was wondering if anyone knows what I should do regarding a toilet that is leaking. It is leaking from the area that comes out of the wall, appears to be the metal part. I have a bowl underneath it right now and that's the area that is catching the water. Appears to be a very slow leak. Is this something that can be fixed by someone, like myself, who knows nothing about plumbing or do I need to call a professional.

    Thanks!

    From your complaint I assume the leak is in the compression angle stop,(see image). If It's leaking from either nut then simply snug the nut up until the leak stops. Or if it's not then describe the leak in detail. Good luck, Tom
