How to fix toilet leak?

Hey.

I've noticed my toilet leaks from a little hole on the right hand side. It doesn't seem to run down the inlet hose and rather drip out of the hole at a slow pace and usually while

the cistirn is refilling. I can turn off the water inlet tap and it doesn't seem to happen but if I leave it on it leaks all over the floor. Have attached photos of the toilet and the cistirn.

Im also not sure what brand toilet I have!

Your help is much appreciated!!

Hello @yvettejay

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your leaking toilet.

Can you please indicate with a circle or arrow on the photo where exactly the leak is coming from? I understand that it is leaking from the right- hand side, but is it from inside the cistern or from another part of your toilet suite? Any extra details you can provide would be very much appreciated. As soon as we have an exact location, I'll be able to give you recommendations on what you can do to repair your toilet.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hey Eric!

It leaks from the hole on the outside of the toilet down the bottom, right hand side. where the inlet hose goes into.

I added in pictures. Thinking perhaps something in cistirn may connect to the inlet inside the toilet. Not too sure.

Hello @yvettejay

Due to the location of the leak, I suggest engaging the services of a licensed plumber. They will need to move the toilet away from the wall and replace the either the inlet valve or the inlet flexi hose. I don't advise doing this as a D.I.Y project.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
