Toilet Leak Even When Water Turned Off

[Neilmaxx]

Hi

Just installed a new close-coupled loo and noticed water around the base. No leaks from securing bolts or water inlet so I suspected it was the doughnut washer. On inspection it looked a little off centre so possibly slipped when installing it. Tried again taking extra care but same story. The doughnut is a foam one that came with the unit: should I ditch it for a rubber one, if so what would you recommend? Or should I try siliconing it into place and if so where is best to apply the silicone?

Many thanks

Crack in the cistern or pan?

I had a good look and couldn't see any cracks.
