Toilet is an Eljer- two piece.
Tank water level drops about 1/2" in 30 minutes, and keeps dropping to about 1 1/4" over two hours. if the supply valve is closed. Level will not drop further than 1 1/4". Water level is below the overflow tube. Dye in tank water does not enter bowl. No signs of moisture between bowl and tank. No signs of moisture around base of bowl. No sign of moisture at base of refill valve, nor supply valve. Flapper has been changed with no improvement over original flapper. Tube from refill valve to overflow tube is not causing a siphon.
Conditions: water level is 3/4" below overflow tube at start. Water level gradually drops causing a refill of the lost water by the refill valve about every 20 minutes (just a squirt). If the supply valve is closed, water level will drop to about 1 1/4" in two hours, then stop at that level.
The tank is still 3/4 full when the water level stops dropping. If the flapper were faulty, the leak would continue.
