So it's on a crawl space ??? If so go down there and see if the plywood is wet. If it's on a slab pout a 5 gallon bucket of water down and if something comes out of the loose caulk, you've got a leak. Otherwise you need to bail as much water out and pull the bowl.
If you end up pulling the bowl, have a wax ring, closet bolts and another water supply handy. Sometimes I've found that the water supply may not fit again after pulling the bowl especially if you remove the tank, especially the chrome type. I have better luck with the plastic ones and if you have the Cadillac of supplies. stainless mesh over plastic tubing they seem to always work. |

Prob caulking shrinking..
Cut some thin strips of paper, 1/2" wide, and slide em under the shitter in a coupla places... use shitter as normal for a day or so, then check strips..
