How to stop toilet water running?

The water keeps running in the toilet bowl. It stops when the lever on this circled part is pushed, but the running water keeps re-occuring. Initially I sprayed silicon spray on the hinge and that worked for a while, but now the problem keeps happening. How can i fix this or replace the relevent part?

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

If you've determined that filling valve is the culprit. I suggest removing the front section of the filling valve and replacing the headseal. I've placed a sample image below to give you an idea of how it can be done. To make sure you get the correct washer, I suggest bringing it to the store and comparing it with the replacement piece. I usually recommend the FIX-A-LOO Inlet Valve Headseal Washer or the Kinetic Inlet Valve Headseal.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
