I bought a 7 year old house with a Mansfield 160 in the basement. The former owner only used the house occasionally in the summer and I doubt the toilet has been flushed 50 times.
Today I noticed water running every 5 minutes for about 10 seconds and traced it down to the toilet. I played with the flush valve and it stopped leaking, but I doubt it is a permanent fix.
They sell replacement flush valves for $9 and flush valve seals for $2. Do I need a new flush valve, or is the seal likely to be adequate?
