Apologies if this is too basic a question, but seems the right place to ask for some advice and hope one of you experts can help.
I have a topravit close coupled compact toilet, and recently replaced the doughnut (actually, I put a doughnut in because my plumber had just dumped a load of plumbers mate where the doughnut should be and it had started to rot - is this normal??)
Anyway, since I replaced the doughnut, I'm getting a drip from one of the wingnuts that connects the cistern to the pan. The screw actually goes all the way into the cistern (as opposed to what seems to be the more normal way of having a close coupling kit with a big metal 'wing' to which the screws are attached). I'm wondering what might need to be replaced here, as it seems to be a little more difficult than my doughnut installation job. I'm hoping maybe just a washer or rubber seal or something? But even that means getting to the screw inside the cistern which looks awkward.
It's definitely not the doughnut, as it leaks all the time and I've pinned the leak point to this particular wingnut/side.
As you can tell, I'm not a plumber, but thanks for any help you may be able to offer!
