I had posted a question a couple days ago thinking that the fill valve I had just replaced inside the toilet tank was bad. When I went to raise the height of the float as suggested, I turned the water off, and drained the tank so that I could take the fill valve out to unscrew it (yes, it must come out to do this, there's not room in the tank to twist it and raise it).
I came back in the room 20 minutes later and the tank was half full. This tells me the shut off valve is leaking. Is that correct? Do I need to replace the entire shut off valve to fix this (i.e. handle, line to toilet, washer, etc)?
Thanks for your help!
