So basically I had a very bad clog in my toilet, the plunger and the plumbers snake both failed to resolve the issue and I was forced to lift the toilet and attempt to clear it from the other end. I succeeded in clearing the clog and put the toilet back in its place. However since this was the first time I have done this I had no idea that the wax ring generally needs to be changed after lifting the toilet, so of course i never replaced it. Now although everything seems to be working fine and I see neither leaks nor dampness around the toilet, and I don't really want to buy a wax ring and lift it again in fear that I will screw up the installation and create a leak where there is not one now. On the other hand I don't want any secret leaks to create issues for my neighbors downstairs.
So I guess I am wondering if it is possible for a toilet to be leaking around the wax ring without any noticeable moisture around the toilet, and if so how likely is such a scenario?
Thanks in advance.
