The tank ball sounds like it is not seating on the flush valve. Unhook it from the tank ball wire and see what happens.Also the seat on the flush valve could be corroded,if so,shut off water and dress the seat with a file or emery cloth.You stated that you have a ball and not a flapper ,right? Also you could have the wrong size of tank ball.The guide arm could be out of alignment,not letting the ball seat.Could also have a bent tank ball wire or a bad tank ball lift wire.Forget the egg dye,cause you already know the water is leaking by.
