Toilet bowl leaking?

Question

Latest the toilet bowl has leaking the water the

location is a s***w holding to bolt where is still

leaking. I am pretty concerned the above matter

because I need to figure out as qucikly.as possible.

Firstly I probably change the toilet bowl and then

alternative the water in pine is going to the toilet

and then location is near the toilet bowl because

of the corrosive. If the case is solved by first

condition I need to stick permenant chemical to

the bolt. Is it work ? Secobdly if this case is

happened in second condition. Basically i need to

change the toilet bowl Moreover, I need to figure

out the pine which coming from the bottom of the

toilet bowl. Is it easy or carry to fix it.

Answer 1

If the toilet is leaking from the base, it could be the wax gasket is broken , in which case you need to shut off the water, drain the tank and remove it then unbolt the base lift it and replace the wax seal. Are you sure it's not just sweating? Often the tank will sweat causing it to look like it's leaking. Try emptying the tank and leaving it dry for a day then pouring water from a bucket into the base to see if it is really leaking. Good luck

Answer 2

try the gasket first
