Push button toilet

[newoilman]

Hi all - I have got to go to a toilet as it is leaking into the bowl - the lady says that the water level is way below the central tube that gets pused by the buttons - any ideas?

He means that the washer on the flush valve is not seating properly.

sorry Dan is this the problem? If so can you explain parts/remedies.
Thanks Mark

You'll need to identify the maker of the flush vavle and get a new one - look at Lunns on the tinterweb.

Non-syphon flush valves (as in WC cisterns with push buttons) often leak due to grit, limescale, etc., on the seating at the bottom of the valve assembly. In most cases, the valve body can be unlatched and removed without tools (and no force!!), and the seating cleaned.
