Which two pipes?

Can you post a picture?

I have uploaded the picture for you.

I would clean and dry the joint and then squirt a nice thick (but tidy) bead of Sanitry sealant into the gap and wipe it into the joints.

Leave ofr an hour and test.

Make sure the loo is FIRMLY screwed to the floor as movement will bring the leak back.

Just get a new one mate......it's alot cleaner finish.

I'm no expert but u might need an offset pan connector- try the link

A bit of practice and you would be amazed at how neat and tidy a bit of white silicone can be. If you change it (indeed with an offset connector) you'll need to remove the loo and allsorts.
