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.

AnswerThere are two possible causes why your toilet tank leaks when flushed.The mostcommon one would be your tank to bowl gasket that sits between your tank & bowl.you would need to replace it.The secound can be tricky.Check in your tank andmake sure your fill tube is in the overflow.This tube fills your bowl when you flush.If it is out it can cause a leak even if your T.top is on.. AnswerYour right on checking the fill tube first, i have seen it before. And I'm surei will see it again. But yes 9 out of 10 will be gasket

Why would an American Standard Cadet Series toilet drain it's water from the bowl?

I have heard that sometimes certain toilets under certain conditions can cause siphoning of water from the bowl of other toilets. Of course, that would require you to have two toilets on premises. If so, check the Cadet water level before and after flushing the non-Cadet toilet. Good Luck


What would cause a downstairs toilet to start running when an upstairs toilet is flushed both toilets keep running until a faucet or the washing machine is turned on?

the most likely answer to this question is a faulty washer, the reason it keeps running until the washing machine is turned on is cause the pressure is being withdrawn from the toilet. replace the washers to the toilets and monitor. if this fails you may have to consider replacing all the mechinisims inside


What would happen if everyone on Earth flushed their toilets at the same time?

Probably nothing, besides a few thousand sewer busts, lots of stincky gloop of everything that, well you get the picture. Don't you? If not, sorry. I hope that this answers your question. If not, sorry. Do not try this unless you live on high ground. The people on the dark side would lose some sleep. The earth would suddenly be deafened by a great noise: half the population of the earth would yell at the other half "be sure to put the seat down!" I don't think anything would happen, except for the momentary drop in water pressure as the toilets refilled. BTW, not every culture uses toilets that flush.
