I happen to work PT in the local home depot plumbing dept and I believe the solution to this problem is a leaky flapper but not 100% sure. My
toilet a (Kohler 1.6g per flush) just is starting to allow some water into the bowl, you can see it coming in from the rim / lip area that usually only pours water in when its been flushed.
You can hear the water line running very very slightly. The shut off valve to the supply line is ok, as soon as I turn it completely closed, it stops. That made me think the
float and valve assy is the culprit, (it looks similar to a 400A Universal Toilet Fill Valve ) so I went in and shot it good with some soapy spray, flushed it a few times and it looks like its diminished a bit but not 100% sure. Could this be the gasket from the tank to the bowl leaking or the flapper? I noticed some water not usually around where the toilet seat screw heads and plastic covers are, on the flat surface where the
Kohler brand is silkscreened onto the porcelan, and thats kinda telling me maybe the tank gasket is leaking? I never remember there being any water there before.
