I have a toilet set on tile. When you sit on it it moves forward a tad,
when you get off it rocks back to its resting posistion. I also notice
when it sees a lot of activity, a small amount of water comes out of
the front section where the base meets the tile.I have checked the nuts
and they are tight. I assume the tile is not level and this is the
problem? Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

The toilet should be supported by a ring of plaster of Paris under it.
So, insert some wedges and get the position where you want it. Mix up
the plaster and pack it under the thrown. It will become rock hard
shortly. Note the wax ring has nothing to do with support -- it simply
seals so sewer gas doesn't escape.
