How to fix a leaky toilet?

by Dixie Wheaton
The toilet seems to lose water after awhile and then it starts to fill it up again at a very shrill sound. It doesn't leak at the bottom, but seems to leak into the bowl.

    The flapper is not sealing and needs to be replaced.

    Check out the flopper inside of the tank.....sounds like it is not seating properly and letting water leak into the bowl. You may need a new one...the whole apperatus is easy to put in.

    Yes, just watch a You Tube video.
