Strangely Leaking Toilet...

OhmZoned

Hi everyone - having a problem with my toilet leaking, looking for opinions\advice.



For the last few days I have noticed water pooling along the rim of the toilet where the blue arrows indicate. This is a one piece toilet so it is not a top tank leaking into the bottom tank. I also do not see water running down from the lid, so I am wondering if it could be leaking through the seat screw holes? I have also noticed the toilet is very slow to refill (even though the valve is open) and it sounds like it runs rather often.

This toilet has never been that ahem.. powerful, so I am half tempted to just replace it with something a bit higher quality anyway. I have replaced a toilet before, so no problems there.

Thanks much.

condensation?
bad ceramics?

either way... I'd change it out with a standard 2 piece.

Too much water for condensation I would think. Bad ceramics is very possible. Yeah, I may just treat myself to a new one!

It looks like a lousy low flow from the late 80s or early 90s... I'm amazed at what my bargain priced Kohler Wellworth can do... My vote would be to replace it... I would never again live with a "crappy" flush...
