I am having a leak occur during the flushing of our toilet. It looks and feels like it is coming from the valve (of course I am looking in a mirror because of the location of the valve). I had this problem a year or so ago and I took the valve apart an checked it. There didn't seem to be anything wrong so I put it back together and the problem disappeared. Now it has reappeared and I was wondering if anyone else has had anything like this happen before? Could I have run into a surge pressure of some sort? Any inputs would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

What type/brand of toilet do you have? The Sealand toilets have a vacuum breaker that can start leaking and it is easily replaceable. The Microphor toilets typically have a removable tank lid so it is easier to see which part is causing the problem.
