Hi all.
I'm trying to fix an issue that started as a leak between the toilet pan and the flush pipe but has now become confusing.
Standard floor mounted toilet pan.
Small hidden dual flush cistern within the built in cupboard behind the pan.
I've replaced the pan/pipe seal and stuffed the pipe into the new seal. I just refitted the cistern into the cupboard behind the pan, turned on the water at the isolator, and did a trial flush.
Turns out the flush pipe wasn't very well sealed into the bottom of the cistern and I felt a few drips, so decided to take the cistern back out of the cupboard and try again.
Having done that I've discovered that the flush pipe is now full of water. It's not emptying out into the pan, which is why there was so much standing water that could leak into the cupboard past the old pan seal.
Why would the pipe not be draining into the pan? Does this suggest a blockage inside the pan? Or is this normal?
