Disappearing Toilet Bowl water!!

[babsvila]

After the toilet is flushed it fills the bowl up with water to the appropriate level. However, the water in the bowl slowly starts to disappear! It takes ~20 minutes for this to occur. It never goes low enough for the vent gasses to enter. The water level in the tank remains the same.There is no water on the bathroom floor, nor is there any water in the basement near the toilet.I attempted to snake the roof vent above the toilet with a garden hose – but this did not help.I did notice that the bathroom sink was partially clogged a couple of days prior. This was corrected though.Any suggestions are appreciated… Thanks.
