When Installing The Toilet Back, Get A Straw Cut It In Half. Put One Over Each Of The Bolts Then Guide The Straws Into The Holes For The Bolts. This Works Great And Saves Time And Trouble Getting It Back On. Where the toilet meets the floor, there is a wax (or similar material) ring which creates a seal. If this is leaking, you will want to replace it. Turn the water off. Flush twice to empty the tank. Disconnect the water line from the toilet. (Have some towels handy!) Unbolt the toilet at the base. Carefully remove the toilet from the floor. Remove the old wax seal and replace it with new, available from any hardware store. Replace the toilet, water line, bolts etc. Turn the water on and give her a test flush. You should be all set!
