I have a slight problem where I can hear my commode running. It does

the flap needed replacing and did that, but still doing it. To help
maybe rule out the flap completely, I placed a weight on top of the
new flap, the colored the tank water. After an hour, I could see some
color in the bottom of the bowl. I am using a Fluidmaster valve,
could this be going bad? Thanks.


Is it possible the float valve is set too high, and water is running
into the overflow pipe ?

Did you check the rim of the opening the flapper sets on for a defects ?

Ok, just checked it. A little hard to see since it's black PVC, but
upon looking with flashlight it seems fine. I ran my finger around it
and felt smooth all the way.
