Okay, so being fighting this issue for the last month. Just seem very odd to me.
Problem: Brigg two piece toilet. There is a slow string of water leaking into the bowl continuously. The water is coming from the inside the rim, where the flushing water normally comes out.
Parts replaced. (in this order) one at a time.
1. flapper
2. fill valve
3. overflow valve. (the entire assembly new)
4. new gasket below the tank
5. flapper (comes with the new overflow valve)
6. new tank to bowl nuts screws (inside bowl , rubber washer, outside bowl (metal washer), nut. connect to toilet, with another metal washer and nut. The old one was rusting out.
So I remove the tank again, after making sure no water is leaking from below the tank.
I do this by putting the tank on the sink and fill it with water and make sure no water is coming out from either the nut, or overflow value.
With just the toilet, I can see a tiny string of water still flowing out! (I test flush it before removing the tank) It eventually stop after 30 min or so. Is it possible the toilet holds that much water and slowly drains itself out like this? When I flush, the water flush out quickly like it should.
Any suggestions?
