        Hello,
        My toilet is leaking from the handle. I guess the water is getting to high. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

        Thanks.

          I cannot imagine how a modern toilet could have this problem. The top of the overflow tube should be below the level of the flush lever in the tank. I guess some units might be built where the overflow tube is higher than or equal to the flush lever height, but that would be a serious design error. I guess it’s possible that the flush lever connections could be “wicking” water into the handle. I’ve never encountered this wierd problem.

            It sounds like your ball cock is leaking at the top and squirting water to the trip level handle.
