When a toilet leaks water out of the base onto the bathroom floor, it means the watertight seal (the wax ring) between the bottom of the toilet and the floor flange has failed, allowing wastewater to escape during a flush. It can also indicate that the toilet bowl is loose and rocking back and forth, which breaks the wax seal integrity, or that a supply line connection or tank bolt is dripping water down the porcelain exterior. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves when inspecting sewage and water leaks around bathroom fixtures. Verification: Check whether water appears specifically during a flush cycle, confirming a compromised wax ring seal.
