Leaking seal

[Farmer Jim]

I know I have seen the discussion on this site but could somebody give me a hint as to how far back to look for hints on fixing the leaking seal in the toliet. And the Chief told me once how to use spell check on this site, could somebody share that with me again. I will promise to write it down this time. Thank You

Try putting plumbers silicone grease on the seal 1st. That may cure the leak. It did on mine. Sure saved pulling apart the toilet.

Farmer,
There has been many topics on this subject on this site.

You need to tell us what model toliet you have.
If you have a Thetford that has a china bowl, rotary ball flush valve, for the year model you have you need to replace the seal. Thetford will tell you they don't have an updated seal, but I have found different. The original seal that came with my '05 model had a white coating and the replacement seal had a greenish cast on the seal surface. The first seal lasted 4 months. The replacement has been working flawlessy for over 3 year with FT use.

After you replace the seal use a non caustic cleaner (scubby bubbles)for general cleaning. I will about once a month add Thetford seal conditioner (CW or RV parts stores). We have never done anything else to the seal. HTH
