If you have water leaking around the base or bottom of your toilet, then you could have a damaged wax gasket seal or small crack in the toilet. Remember to verify that the water isn't leaking from the water supply valve, hose connecting valve to toilet tank or the toilet tank itself, before taking the toilet apart and looking for cracks or a damaged wax ring.
