The toilet in the basement bathroom of the house we bought was leaking from the flapper. I thought it just needed a new flapper, but it seems as if the flapper doesn't sit flat. When I looked more closely, it seems to me as if the flush valve (if that's the right term) is installed improperly. The opening in the pipe is not horizontal but is angled from the back to the front. Can this be right? If not, I'm guessing I'll need a new flush valve because this one is most likely cross threaded. From those of you who have seen lots of Toto installations, could this be OK and I just need a flapper? I've attached a photo.
I've looked more closely and it is installed properly; it's intended to be angled like that. it says "CertainFlush" on it. I guess it just needs a new flapper, and maybe this is the wrong flapper.
