Bloody Hell!

Just finsihed installing a new close coupled bog - leaks!

It looks like its leaking from the main connection between pan and cistern and possibly via joining bolts too.

Also, and this is the pain, between the outlet and the soil pipe. As slightly different bog I invested in a new connector between the soil and pan and an extension tube also. The leak is between the pan and the connector.

One thing I did notice was the soil does not come out of the wall at 90 degrees, rather offset. I know u can get flexible connectors but the gap is not big enough for the shortest length of a flexi pipe.

What do you advise?
 
offset and angled pan conns are available.some flexi pan conns will concertina to shorter length. invest in tub of plumbers mait putty to seal bolts etc through cistern holes.
