there is a gasket beetween the tank and the bowl. the gasket could either be pinched or need to be replaced. It's an easy fix, and you can find standard gaskets at your local hardware store. there should be two or three bolts underneath the bowl. be sure to shut the water off first and flush the toilet as many times as possible to get the water out of the tank. Good luck.
