Post Body

Looking for a bit of direction on how to nail this down.

Toilet tops up every 15 to 20 minutes, level clearly going down in tank over that time.

Replaced flapper with appropriate Korky flapper, cleaned seal, no rough edges etc, but still same issue.

I have had issues on other toilets replacing flapper and was solved by buying OEM flapper. I guess would be a good start but can;t get from local big box store, only carry aftermarket.

I guess I am hoping to diagnose for other causes today, how can I ensure it is the flapper that is the problem? any tricks to isolate and ensure it is not the whole valve that need replacement?
