I will ask you too if the outlet your overflow tube is above the water
level. Very common problem for your type of symptoms. Just a bit below the
water level and you siphon out a little bit of water.

My house has three bathrooms and of the three, there is one toilet that
has
been a continual problem for the houses 18 year life. The other two are
just fine. For that one, it will "top off" about three or four times a
day.
Not as bad as your problem, but still a PITA. I have put in several new
valves and floats of different types, several different types of flappers,
resurfaced the seat for the flapper with some 600 grit sandpaper and a
sanding block, checked to make sure everything is tight, took the thing
apart and put in all new sealants, and still it leaks. I was talking to a
neighbor not too long ago and he told me that he had the same problem with
one of his toilets (oddly enough, he had the same model house and it was
the
toilet in the same location in his house). He replaced the toilet and no
more problem. I just might be in the market for a new toilet myself.
That
might be a problem too because I think I might have to go out of state to
get a toilet that isn't a "water conserving" type.

Toilet flapper leaking down a bit toilet refils in about 30 seconds, any
fixes short of replaceing the rubber flapper.

I already flushed and cleaned the flapper and the flapper seat.

Thanks
