toilet leaking

[whyme!]

seems to be from the donut, i have tightened it but still seems to leak. What can i do to avoid this? toilet is new

Have you drained it and checked its sitting flush

And check the nut is tight as i have had this leak even if the donut is sealed

 

[whyme!]

its a corner toilet so can only test when in situ.The donut seemed vey hard not the normal soft type ive seen before. Could i pack plumbers mate on either side of donut?its a closed coupled toilet, is there any mods to get the flush pipe further into the bowl, kind of extending it?I can't believe toilets have changed so little, must be a better solution than a donut considering the volume of water gusshing at any one time

no that wont seal
Best to remove and check nut is tight and replace with a new dognut from plumb center/plumb base e.c.t.
I know a pain but best way.. did you install it if not get plumer back to put it right for free

don't be a bodge.
check you have sited the do-nut fully in place.
they don't need plumbers mate or pipe lengthened.

 

[whyme!]

no i did it, took my time though tested before installing. Just leakes after flushing. Any donut you can recommend???

Can you tighten the cistern too much?
