Take the cover off the tank and watch it. If the water level gets low
and it refills itself then the flapper needs to be replaced -- very
simple. If the water is overflowing into the overflow tube then you
need a new inner valve. That's not as simple, but if you read the
directions on the box you can get it done.

Wasn't there a test about food color in the tank,
and see if the colored water leaks into the bowl?


The problem here was noise. The color test is specially
useful when we expect there is seepage but it makes no
noise.
