Hello everyone, I'm a new member and hope that you can help me. I have an old Kohler Rochelle that is acting strangely. After the toilet is flushed, the tank fills up, the flush valve closes, and everything is fine and working as it should. However, I can hear a "gurgle drip" which I assume is emanating from the fill post (not sure what it is called, it's the plastic tube where the tank ball and shut off valve are positioned). However, that is not the problem. As noted, everything works fine and all is shut off for about 1.5 to 2 minutes, then there is a drip into the bowl. I push down on the tank ball, and there is no difference; I lift the float, and there is no difference; the leak continues. If I flush the toilet, it works fine, the float rises, everything works fine and shuts down, there are no drips into the bowl initially, then a minute or two later, the drip in the bowl materializes. What gives ? is there some sort of overflow tube or something similar that is having some effect on the system ? As I say, the toilet seems to work perfectly and there are no drips or leaks until a minute or two after everything has shut down properly.
I changed the tank ball to a Kohler replacement but it makes no difference. I happen to have another identical model toilet that works flawlessly, so I switched floats, thinking that maybe there is a hairline leak in the float, but to no avail. Same symptoms.
Please give me some pointers.
Thanks.
