Leaking toilets is a very frustrating thing, which is very difficult to deal with. A leaking toilet makes your bathroom very messy and makes you pay heavy water bills. When there is leakage in the toilet, it easily wastes fifty to about hundred gallons every day. If you want to save your money then you can fix this up very easily. The two main reasons for a leaking toilet, the first being the overflow tube getting filled with water due to spilling, you can find this out by removing the toilet tank lid furthermore checking the overflow tube’s water level, which is the tank’s centre part. The worn flapper could be the second reason for leakage. If the flush valve or the flapper is old then it can cause a shut off in the water. You can find out if this is the reason for leakage by dropping just a few drops of food color in the tank, after twenty minutes if the color is still there and hasn’t dispersed then there is a leakage.
There are a few solutions if the leakage is due to the overflow tube. Firstly you can tighten the valve screw in the centre, after that bending the arm of the float ball downwards very carefully. Otherwise sliding the silver colored clip or pinching the rod of the fill valve down. 
The fill valve may need to be replaced if the level of water does not change at all. If the flappers do not work well then you can buy new ones as they are quite affordable and are easily available. Carefully listen to the sounds your toilet makes, check if there are any internal issues, and the cause of the leaks. The earlier you repair your toilet the better it is, as it will help you save a lot on time and money. If your solutions dint work at all then you must call a professional plumber for a leaking toilet.
