Default Toilet questions

Do all modern toilet tanks have overflow tubes?

toilet *started to drip in the tank.
I'll be gone for a while so drips can quickly get out of hand before
you know it.

If it has an overflow tube I should be OK until I get get to it.
BTW, this toilet is 12 years old now.
How do you stop a drip on the handle part?
Will I need to call a plumber?

It's a very slow, irregular drip, maybe once every 5 seconds or more.
TIA


"my toilet started to drip in the tank."

You said it's dripping *in* the tank. Where *in* the tank is it
dripping to/from?

"How do you stop a drip on the handle part?"

What do you mean by a drip *on* the handle part?

"I ask because I went on vacation just a couple of days after my
toilet started to drip"

I gotta ask...if your toilet was dripping/leaking/whatever, why didn't
you turn it off before you went on vacation?
