I guess this is the right thread. Would a bad wax seal on a toilet cause a slow leak (constant emptying/filling of rear tank)? I recently replaced the wax seal as we have a leak from the toilet in the garage (long story) and about 2 months later I got a slow tank leak that got slowly worst. I just replaced the tank bolts / flapper valve today and it seems to have slowed it quite a bit but I just heard the tank fill again and the only thing I can think of that could be fishy is the wax seal (it was my first replacement and the seal had been sitting in the garage for months).

Everything else seems tight so I guess I'll have to try another float valve. It definitely leaks slower now than before but it still leaks which bothers me as a guy who does troubleshooting (albeit not in plumbing) for a living. Changing one thing should either fix the problem or be no change. WHich means I did something wrong in my fix. The toilet doesn't rock, nor does the tank everything seems sturdy.
