Re: [VAL] a leak!!

["Gary Quamen" <g_quamen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another place to check is kind-of tricky.

Commonly overlooked is the spot where the water supply enters to the back of
the toilet.  Mine, for instance, has a shutoff valve at the end of the
copper supply line.  Connected to that is a short loop of plastic tube that
connects to a vacuum breaker valve assembly built into the back of the
toilet.  Out of sight...out of mind.  Hard to drain.  If this freezes (mine
did) it will pop the valve assembly apart and a leak will appear from back
there where you can't see it.  You should be able to hear it and see water
on the floor.  You then have to remove the toilet and replace the valve
assembly with a new one.  At least....I did.
