Default Toilet leaking from flush pipe

In article
s.com, dog-man writes
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.


Umm.. Lots of good advice from others but... *looks a little short* may
be the cause.

My daughter had a similar problem. In order to create an inch or two
extra space in a microscopic toilet the plumber had fitted the pan too
close to the rear wall. The consequence was that the plastic bung was
being distorted by trying to seal on a section of pipe which was neither
round or parallel to the pan.
