Default Toilet leaking from flush pipe

My toilet was leaking slightly from where the flush pipe goes into it
whenever we flushed the toilet.

I renewed the plastic bung that the pipe goes through and also the
pipe as it looked a little short to me.

It is still leaking!

There is only the pipe going through the plastic bung that fits into
the hole at the rear of the toilet. No washer or seal of any kind.

Should there be something else there to stop the leak?


Steve...

Check first.

Is the leak coming from the flushpipe entry to the pan?

Have a look at the flushpipe exit from the cistern, it can very often be a
leak from the back of it running down makes it look to be leaking from the
pan end.

If all is ok there then it could be that the flushpipe could now be too
long or the cistern outlet is off centre from the pan connection.
