This toilet has been dry and out of use for several months and is

It's fine sitting with a tank full of water - no leaks at all. But
the minute the toilet is flushed, what a mess of water on the floor.

Which seal/gasket do I need to replace?

Did you scrape up all the old wax and put a new wax ring down before
placing the toilet on the floor?

I have had some luck reusing wax if it's not too old but you still
have to scrape it back into a ring so it can be pressed down again.
Since a wax ring is only a couple bucks it's not worth it unless
you've got no other reason to make a supply run.

Still not worth it.

Are you sure it is not the gasket between the tank and bowl? Watch at the
bottom of the tank where it connects to the toilet and see if that is where
the water is coming from.
