Can a toilet leak weeks after install?
Yes.` The wax ring may not have been thick enough or making complete contact and the toilet not held down tight enough. Every time the toilet rocks just a bit and water gets between the wax and the toilet. It doesn't reseal and keeps doing this until it has a leak to the outside edge of the seal. Just another wax ring, a thicker one and bolt the toilet back down tight, but not too tight and break the toilet.

Check for a leak at the wax ring of the toilet. This leak will migrate out, on the surface or under the surface of the floor. Check for a leak in the wall in the back of the vanity (the vanity may have to be removed). A slow leak in a wall is likely to be the DWV system, not water.
