ive installed a toilet, then later relaised it had a leak sue to a hairline crack in the cistern... could this have been caused by me tightning the wont nuts to the pan to tight??

question is when installing a toilet how tight should all the bolts and nuts be with a close coupled toilet. im referring to when connecting the cistern to the pan??
 
The kit that came with the toilet should have all sorts of seals and normally just require a pinch to make them water tight,If you are not use to it then you test it by filling with water.Its never good idea to over tighten anything on the cistern
