My toilet tank leaks water after about an hour of not being used but it fills up after you flush it. After it fills up it flushes fine no problem at all then an hour later the toilet tank is empty and you have to flush it to fill it back up. There is no sound of a leak or cracks. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Thank!

There is a leak at the flapper or below. The first thing is to clean the seat that the flapper sits against, and replace the flapper. If that fixes it, fine. If you still have a leak, there is further repair possible, but before putting too much effort in, maybe you would want to review if it is time for a new toilet. Newer toilets seldom clog. So if yours does, consider a new toilet.
The fill valve may also have a problem. Maybe not. There are fill valves that, by design, will not turn on again if the level drops, until after you have operated the flush lever. Maybe you have one of those.

Reach has hit the nail on the head with both comments. If you want to shoot us a photo of the interior of the tank, we may be able to give you more specific help. If you can capture any numbers printed on the inside of the tank in your photo, that would be cool, but most importantly we want to see what's in there.
