Default How do you tell if a toilet is properly seated

The top of the flange should be level (or near to) with the finished
floor. If it is lower then get a spacer ring that goes between the
flange and the sealant ring.

I had to take out the toilet in one of my bathroomw so that we could
wallpaper the wall behind it. When I replaced it, I put a new seal.
Lately, I have noticed that the grout in the ceramic floor is getting
damp and spreading away from the toilet. There is also what appears to
be a stain on the floor at the back. I am assuming that the toilet is
not properly sealed to the drain. I don't recall if I just used one of
the rings made just of beeswax or one with a plactic ring and beeswax.
How do I know when it is correctly sealed? There are no apparent cracks
in the toilet itself.

Any suggestions?
