    Please tell us exactly where it is leaking from, from the fill valve or the flush valve, or if you can post a photo of the leak, Thanks.

    Please, answer John's questions. In the interim:

    If it is Fill Valve, tighten the nut under the tank. If it is from the seal between bowl and tank, tighten the 2 nuts under the tank

    If continues to leak from either connection, you will have to replace seals

    Hope that helps
