Thank you in advance
While cleaning the toilet, we noticed a small amount of water coming from the bottom front of the toilet when flushed. The front bottom of the toilet was heavily caulked with silicone.
I removed the toilet and replaced the wax ring. I pushed down using body weight. I put the bolts on not using much pressure and got them snug so they did not turn easily. Added two shims to the front as the floor seemed to slope to the front which is why that’s where we saw the leak.
We left it uncaulked for the time being and when I sat on it this morning it cracked around the bolt.
What did I do wrong? How do I prevent this from happening again?
