You can determine if a toilet wax ring seal is leaking by observing distinct physical warning signs around the base of the porcelain bowl. Key indicators include water pooling around the floor base after flushing, a foul sewage or mold odor near the toilet, unexplained dampness or warped flooring, and a toilet bowl that rocks slightly when sat upon, which breaks the wax seal. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves when inspecting sewage leaks around bathroom fixtures. Verification: Check the floor around the toilet base for moisture and test if the porcelain bowl wobbles when gently pushed.
