: Help! We have spent all weekend trying to find out what is causing our leak. You can see the water trinkling : into the toilet bowl so we replaced the flapper. It is still leaking. We cut off the water and it appears to leak : about 1 - 2 inches below the water line and then stops. We turned the water back on and it does nothing. : Sometimes it will automatically refill and other times it won't. But it only leaks about a couple of inches : and then stops. Tammy, Trim the fill tube shorter, the tube that goes between the fill valve and the overflow tube. You may have a siphon action with the fill tube going into the overflow. Terry
