Toilet leaking from base (where it met the tile floor). Pulled it, flange is 1/4” - 3/8” above tile floor. Replaced wax ring, replaced toilet.
Still leaking. Noticed a hairline crack in toilet base…not sure if that was the issue or if I tightened the bolts too much.
Replaced with a TOTO Ultramax one piece, reinforced wax ring. Shimmed. No leaks now, but after flushing and tank refills, hear loud gurgling sounds coming from the soil stack for about 15-30 seconds (gurgling, tinkling). No other toilets in house doing this.
My thinking is that its either a blockage downstream or blocked vent pipe. Plan is to pull toilet and power auger downstream, then replace. If problem persists, will go into attic and cut vent stack to see if that helps (roof is highly pitched, not going up on it to check).
Thoughts about this plan? Thanks so much, Steven.
