dripping from where

 

[topman870]

Under the tank of the toilet.

There two holes under the toilet, one of them got a pipe going up to the tank, and another spare. its dripping out of both holes

check the water level in the cistern there is a mark on the back where it should be
the (spare ) outlet is the overflow should have a pipe connected to it

I thought too, the spare should be a overflow.

But the overflow on this model is different, the overflow goes back into the loo itself instead of the overflow outlet pipe. (so i was told)

The water level is fine and flushing properly

Its just a leak could it be the washers??

so the spare is a blanking plug

try tightening the backnuts but go steady plastic threads aint that strong

I'll give the tightening a go, see if it make a different

Thanks
