Slow leak going from tank to bowl.
It fills up enough for the float to cut off water to the tank
But a tiny little drip is going from tank to bowl.
Over long enough time, the tank is low enough the float valve fills it up a little. Then stops.
Cycle repeats.
If you really care. You can replace the flap stopping tank>bowl. Maybe replace all the guts while you're at it.
If you have hard water, you can just rub the flap/gasket with some vinegar and that might be enough.
Thanks I'll give this a try. I'll see if I can find a replacement part
Definitely try just wiping it off first tho....
Just the flap and the gasket it seats into, wipe it down with a wet paper towel, see if it still does it
You can also try adjusting the linkage (chain length) sometimes a flap "floats down" slowly because there's still some water. And that might be causing issues.
Anytime you fuck with a toilet, you want to try the least invasive methods first and work your way up.
Shit can get out of hand quickly and you may end up replacing everything and still experiencing the same issue.
Sometimes literally.
If at any part of the process you have shit in your hand, something isn't working out like it should have
