I replaced the toilet in my son's bathroom 3-4 months ago. The base of the new toilet contacted the flange so I used shims to raise it a little then used plaster of paris around the perimeter (except back) to provide a firm foundation. About 3 weeks ago, he noticed water leaking at the front-right edge of the base. There was never any evidence of the waste line backing up and the wax seal looks perfect. There is just a little wood subfloor exposed between the flange and the flooring so I gouged up a few bits and they seem totally dry.
There is a small hole in the base of the toilet, directly in front of the horn, that appears to extend straight up to the bottom of the bowl (see photo). Clearly water is not supposed to come out of this hole - but is there any way it could have?
