Hello,
I recently put in a new toilet and while I was cleaning up a piece of newspaper went up under the front of the bowl and it came out slightly wet. It has been 5 days now and the water level in the tank and bowl have not changed but that moisture is still under the front and sides of the bowl but not visible on the floor just under the bowl.Any ideas would be great.

Use some toilet paper to check every possible leak point above the floor. The toilet paper will show any moisture. The valve and its connection points, and, or the tank bolts could leak a tiny amount and it would be hard to detect. The toilet paper will find it.

One possibility is a bad wax ring installation. If the closet ring is installed properly for your floor, one wax ring is all that is necessary. A properly installed closet ring allows the right amount of wax between the bottom of the toilet and the closet ring. If you have too little wax it can more easily be blown out with a plunger. You also want the closet bolts to hold the toilet and not allow it to wobble or move when a little side to side pressure is used on the bowl. You want the toilet to be firmly tightened....but not too tight or you will crack the bowl. You may want to consult your local Plumber to make sure you don't ruin your floor. good luck

I removed the toilet and drained all the water and then slowly added water in the bowl. It looks like it has a crack in the bowl because water started running out the front. Thanks for the reply.
