Are you really sure the tank leaks from the bottom, and doesn't just
drip from the bottom?

It gushes!!

Have you flushed it with the tank lid off?

Only way it's been flushed so far. Everything looks fine from the
top of the tank, then you hear Niagara Falls behind the toilet tank.

Done that. Same problem as above.

The toilet could be left indefinitely with the water supply turned on
and the tank filled, with no problems. It's sort of like a trap - a
good prank if it could be duplicated, because as soon as it's flushed,
the waterfall starts and your feet get wet from the water running from
behind the toilet.



If the leak is from the bottom of the toilet, the seal between the toilet
and its drainpipe is defective.

I've seen it where the wax ring became dislodged as the toilet was
installed, meaning it seated off-center, leaving a big crescent-shaped hole
in one quadrant. You'd never know until you flushed the toilet.

Your only option now is to pull the toilet. It's easiest to remove the tank
first, as that makes the beast a *LOT* easier to heft.
