We have a little puddle forming between the toilet seat hinge area, and bottom of cistern. I suspect it maybe the gasket seal between cistern and pan.
I removed the internal dual flush tube mechanism thingy from inside the cistern, and checked the seals there. Didn't seem too bad, cleaned them up, and put the mech back in the cistern. I did measure the hole with the mech out, and it was somewhere between 2 to 2.5 inches. Also noticed the black seal diaphragm thing in the mech was dripping what seems like black ink from it, which I found odd.
Anyway, put all the cistern back together, and it is still leaking. I will order a spare seal for between the cistern and pan, but don't want to remove the cistern until I have that bit ready to replace it.
What seal etc should I order from Screwfix then?
Thanks.
