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?


Mine too but a good dollop of silicone sealant has cured it. You need
to get everything completely dry and clean though and leave the
silicone for several hours to set. Once it has it remains flexible
enough to resist any movement in the components and should be a long
lasting cure.


Fernox LS-X worked for me. It has the advantage over normal silicone that
the surfaces don't need to be dry.
