Hi, my toilet drips from the cistern when its flushed, does that mean its the rubber washer between the cistern and toilet thats gone ?

or could it be the soile pipe connector ?

thanks
 
i can feel it dripping to the left cant see but, since its just when flushed I think it must be the doughnut washer in between the cistern and toilet bowl.
Im halfway through dismantling it but the bolts are rusted.
 
When I took my old toilet apart the heavy condensation had rusted the bolts solid which meant a hacksaw job. With the old toilet the condensation would run down and collect in the gap between cistern and pan and then run down the two bolts and drip on the floor. Once you've changed the doughnut and put in yoga mat hopefully that will of solved it.
