So, a small pool of water around one side of the base of the toilet bowl. Not real bad, maybe 8-10 square inches in a 12 hour period. Wax ring? Water connection to tank? Leaking bolts from tank to bowl?
I put red dye in tank and let it set for a few hours - water at base is clear and no red streaks down the side of the bowl under the tank. Flushed everything clean and put blue dye in bowl -water at base clear. Did the bowl a few more times adding dye while flushing so it would go through the siphon channel (or whatever its called) and sit - still clear water at base. Felt water connections at wall, at entrance to tank, around the bolts that hold tank to bowl and can feel no water - still clear water around base.
I'm stumped as to where the clear water around the base is coming from and I don't really want to take the bowl up and change the wax ring and still have a leak.
Ideas?
Thanks
George
