One of our toilets has a slight leak into the bowl. The bathroom is
attached to the bedroom so during the night I hear the tank fill itself
back up very quickly. I have swapped flappers with the other toilet
and even bought two new flappers. The first flapper was a Korky but my
plumber friend said it was for other model toilets and I needed a
Universal type Korky for the Universal - Rundle toilet in question.
The toilet still leaks despite the new flapper. Do I need to replace
the flush valve now? If so what do you suggest? Any gotchas to be
wary of?

Is it overfilling? Maybe the intake valve is letting the water
level to
rise too far and then the water is running out the overflow.



Over-filling wouldn't cause it to fill quickly
in the middle of the night - it would be
constantly slowly filling.
