Kohler toilet in my home’s basement constantly gives off a sound of running water. Is it leaking?Details below?

The Office Fan asked:


I put some dye in the tank and none leaked into the bowl. But the toilet keeps making the sound of water running. This ends when I turn off the water flow near the base of the toilet. None of the other Kohler toilets in my home make this noise. Your thoughts on this. Is the toilet leaking? Thanks.

    some times the float can make a noise like it filling very slowly for some time does it eventually stop?

    It sounds like it may be leaking through the refill valve. Check the small tube that runs from the flush valve into the overflow pipe. It is there to refill the bowl after each flush. If it is leaking then the flush valve will need to be replaced or repaired.

    This is the only type of leak I can think of that would cause a dye test would fail to find.
