I installed the Drake toilet myself and the initial toilet/tank I had ended up having a leak between the tank and toilet. It was around the gasket/flush valve area. Problem must have been that hugh nut wasn't tightened enough. Anyway I returned the tank for another one and problem was solved. I had to scratch my head on the QA there. I noticed it was made in China...I thought they would be made in Japan or Georgia. Anyway...to my real issue/question.
So, I got everything installed and I noticed the water level, upon filling would be at what I would expect to be the proper level. Then I hear a trickle trickle sound like water draining away. My water level dropps about 1/2" maybe up to 3/4" from its original fill. This occurs within 30 seconds of filling. No more water loss appears to occur.
When setting the toilet I didn't concern myself with leveling. I recently checked it and here is what my level tells me:
BACK ----- FRONT of toilet
^
lower by about 1/4" (eyeball) plus or minus a 1/16"
Thus water would tend to flow to back of toilet ever so slightly.
So, my question is, if I lift up and back and level out the toilet (obviously disassembling everything and replacing the wax ring) would that solve the "trickle trickle" noise and the loss of 1/2" of water in the bowl?
I'm sure someone has installed one of these toilets before and seen something similar. Sorry if a question like this has appeared before and I didn't see it.
Thanks,
