Toilets can leak from the tank to the bowl, causing automatic flushing and hundreds of gallons of wasted water over time. Ignoring it won’t solve the problem, and you may not be sure if it’s the internal hardware or something else.
A simple test can help you determine if you need to call the plumber. Simply drop one drop of food coloring into the the tank in the back of the toilet. Wait for around 15 minutes. If the color ends up in the bowl, you definitely have a wasteful leak.
