hi can anyone help the overflow outside wont stop leaking.
i dont know where the leak is comeing from as the water in my toilet does not go over the overflow pipe so could it be from the inlet pipe where the water comes in if so how do i repair it.
thank mal

There is often a cold water tank in the loft - two tanks - one for domestic hot water and another for the central heating radiators. Your overflow may be coming from one of these or from a WC cistern.

Whichever it is - the cause will likely be the need to adjust the inlet valve to shut the water off sooner - or to replace the perished rubber seal inside the valve. The first is easy and so is the second but the mains water into the problem valve needs to be isolated first.

You will do well to try and trace / determine the source of the overflow pipe i.e. where does the dripping pipe go to?

Good luck...
