Hello everyone! I've been wondering why my toilet bowl is leaking on its base. Is the installation is not proper? I just want to fix my problem and seek for some help from you guys. Thanks! Hope I can hear from you.

Chris,

It appears that you don't want the advice offered here. In your last two posts of needing a plumber, a bad shower and now a bad toilet you were given suggestions on the proper forums that could assist you. Go back to those posts. The same advice applies.

I can't fix it and probably no one on here can fix it, unless they live near you.You can fix it by going to your local hardware store and puchasing the wax seal that goes between your toilet and drain. Return home and remove the 2 nuts / bolts that secures your toilet to the floor. Replace the wax seal, after cleaning the old one off. The new wax seal will have insructions on the package. Read them and follow the instructions. Replace toilet on the new seal and replace the bolts / nuts.
Simple.
Your seal is leaking. Or your tank seal may be broken or leaking. Remember to turn the water off before removing the toilet.

I suggest that you try using toilet sealant to stop the leakage. It often happens at our place and the sealant is the best option available.
