A toilet moving from left to right when sat upon means that the floor closet bolts are loose, the plastic floor flange is damaged, or the finished bathroom floor is uneven, causing the porcelain bowl to pivot on its center point. This lateral movement breaks the compression seal of the wax ring underneath. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves if inspecting water leaks around the base. Verification: Check the floor bolts and slide plastic shims into the side gaps to eliminate all lateral play.
