Wax ring is leaking. Wasn't thick enough to begin with, bolts were not tightened down enough, bolts broke or rusted off, flange the bolts hook into broke, floor rotted from another leak and let the toilet rock and break the seal on the wax ring. Could be any one of these or two combined.

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.
