Toilet problem

[billozz]

My toilet is constantly having water run from the cistern to the bowl, what could be causing that please, I've tried to add a video but the site wouldn't let me. Thanks

Flush valve leaking; or water level too high and internal overflow operating.

Yes, unfortunately you have to use a 3rd party site, eg YouTube. Maybe post a photo of inside the cistern?

The water level is not high it's not really getting very high at all

The water level is not high

If the water isn't overflowing then presumably the flush valve is leaking. Post a well-focussed pic of the inside of the cistern and someone here will likely recognise the flush valve brand and advise on its treatment/replacement.

The water is coming through where the orange dot is if I lift the float (yellow dot) it stops but within a minute or so it starts again, any advice appreciated.
