Fix leaking toilet

[andrewf75]

My toilet is leaking. From what I can tell it's from the dodgy looking sealant between the pan and the plastic pipe. Hopefully you can see this clearly enough

from the photo...

From googling it seems it's a bit of a bodge job using sealant so am thinking of having a go at taking it out and replacing using the appropriate part. So my question is what is the appropriate part? Do I need one pipe to fix into the drain and then another to connect from the pan into it? Space looks tight which may be why the plumber used sealant before.

Thanks in advance!

90 degree pan connector is what you need. Take the old one with you when you go shopping.

No sealant required as they're is a huge rubber seal on the neck so unsure why it was used before.

Get a mcalpine bent pan connector WC-CON8 or CON8E and cut to length to suit height of pan spigot. Looks like existing was cut too short and is tight at the top of the spigot hence gap at bottom being fudged with silicone.

Existing is also split at bottom.
