AM  toilet tank leaking into bowl It's a slow leak. I've cleaned
the slime off the flapper and other tank parts, what's my next
step?  glennjanie 09-12-2006 11:00 AM  Hi Bethany: The logical
next step is to replace the flapper. After they get old and
begin to deteriorate its almost impossible to stop them from
leaking. It usually just slips on the overflow tube and is very
little trouble to change.  K2eoj 09-12-2006 11:04 AM

for years and have almost no complaints and if I did have a
complaint I can't remember what it was.  If I see a float ball I
just pull it out right away
