Answer 1

hire a plumber

Answer 2

maybe wax seal is bad or may have leak some where else, put some dark food coloring in tank and look for leak. Also feel bottom of bolts holding tank to bowl and feel water supply line from valve to where it attaches to tank

Answer 3

It sounds like the wax seal needs to be replaced. It is pretty easy to do. Get a new seal from a hardware store. Then, with the water turned off, lift the bowl up off of the old seal and clean it up. Follow directions on putting the new seal down. It is made of wax so it will mold itself to the hole in the floor.
