Since it only leaks when you flush, that means that there's a crack in the drain tube, which runs through the bottom of the tank. There's a rubber washer around it, under the tank, which obviously isn't containing the leak. So, I don't believe you only need the big rubber wash, you need a new drain tube, too. In order to change that tube, you have to take the tank off, which involves removing the two machine screws at the bottom of the tank and they are usually corroded inside the tank. I've had better luck holding the bottom of those bolts underneath the toilet and removing the nuts from the machine screws that way, because if you try to put a large screwdriver in the slot inside the tank, it's usually so corroded you can't do it.
Good luck! _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Spiro Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2008 1:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: new question on RE: [BlindHandyMan] toilett I have a leak. When I flush, the toilet leaks straight down the bolt that keeps the tank onto the seat back. Am I right thinking if I can release it, I should put in new rubber washers? Why only when it is flushing? Thanks [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
