My husband says we have a leak...
We installed an American Standard Cadet III with the supplied wax gasket (w/flange). At first we noticed no leaking, but after caulking around the base several weeks later, I noticed dampness (drips?) coming from under the toilet. The drip increases when the toilet is flushed.
We lifted the toilet up and noticed that there was really not much water there, but was damp nonetheless. We replaced the wax gasket with another wax gasket (w/flange). Still damp!
Then we replaced it again with a wax seal (w/o flange). Still drips and gets damp!!!
Do we try a thicker wax seal? Is the toilet defective? Any other advice?
