My toilet has water dripping into it all the time.I need a new washer?

My similar problem was due to a seal in the inlet assembly. Consequence was a constant 'mini' flushing into the bowl. I replaced the whole (small) plastic unit and all's fine.

Inside the cistern is the syphon unit
Between the cistern and the WC Pan is a Doughnut washer & plate

Both of these can be bought from a plumber's merchant or a DIY store.

If you have water continually dribbling into the pan it is unlikely to be due to the syphon or the doughnut washer.

You may do best to pay attention to the adjustment of the inlet valve or the integrity of its sealing washer - also available at the same outlets.

Good luck...
