Toilet repair

Posted by Tom Stock on October 26, 2001 at 07:31:33:
We have an upstairs full bath. Last night when the toilet was flushed, it almost overflowed, but not quite. Then my wife used the sink, and water started backing up in the tub. Then, to our behest, water started coming through the ceiling in the first level. Am I correct in assuming the following: 1) The clog is beyond where the drains from the sink, tub, and toilet join up. 2) The base seal around the toilet is probably shot. I am new to toilet repair - how easy is it to replace that base drain seal? Thanks!
