What causes water to trickle in toilet?
Trickling Water into the Bowl If your toilet keeps running on and off by itself or runs as if it was recently flushed, then you may have what plumbers call a “phantom flush.” This is caused by a slow leak from the tank to the bowl. Most likely the cause is due to a bad flapper that needs to be cleaned.
Why is my toilet still running after I flush the toilet?
The fill valve fills the tank and bowl with water after the toilet is flushed. This issue is common during new toilet installation because turning the water supply on and off can loosen sediment within the water lines. Replace the fill valve if the toilet is still constantly running after flushing the fill valve.

How can I stop water from coming out of my toilet tank?
Close the water supply valve for the toilet’s tank by twisting the handle clockwise as far as possible. Flush the toilet once to drain most of the water from the tank. Cut the old flapper valve with a utility knife, cutting away the pieces of the flapper that connect to the overflow tube. Remove the hook from the top of the old flapper valve.
