Default toilet: i am about to replace the wax ring

toilet i installed two years ago ... all was well until recently when I
noticed some water seeping out underneath.

I am thinking its gotta be the wax ring from the toilet being moved around
a little.

i have VOWED that when I work on it tommorow I am going to use a waxless
ring (i bought one on home depot a long time ago but never installed it
and have been kicking myself since)

anyone have experiences installing the waxless rings?


They are good but not as good as a sleeved wax ring the ones with the
sleeve in the middle. Have found that foam rings compress and cause
leaks later. Also is this in a house with cast Iron plunbing or
abs ,there can be many reasons why it would leak.
