A toilet has a small leak suddenly at the base. It will have a small mount of water around the porcelain base and on the adjacent linoleum. I dried everything last night before bed to see where it would come from - in the morning, it was just around the base that had a small amount of water and nothing appeared to have down from the tank above.
Anything else I should investigate before getting a a new wax ring and pulling it out? The construction is only ~9 years old, though it is not the highest quality construction, we have found. I have installed a toilet or two in the past and pulled one out and re-installed when putting in marble tile, so I know generally what is going on. But any advice from more knowlegdeable folks is appreciated.
I imagine if it's only a small amount of water showing, there must be a lot more going into the subfloor and I need to fix this asap.
