Default Brand new American Standard Toilet leaks (Williamsburg)

Hi All:
I just bought a toilet and tank from Home Depot (Williamsburg
Collection) and installed it. I noticed that a very fine leak was
flowing into the toilet bowl, emptying the tank in the process.

So I returned the defective tank and got a new one from the store.
However, it still has the exact same problem as the one i returned.
Some other things I have done:
+ Balanced the tank so that it is even keel
+ Applied plumbers grease to the flapper valve

For a brand new tank, this is a lot of problem. Is there anything that
I could do to fix this?

Your advice will be very helpful, thanks in advance.

Frequently the float needs to be adjusted on new units. Check it out,
the water may be comming from the overflow tube.
