Good old fashion Fluid Master valve in a builder grade 90s 1.6L round toilet in the kids' bathroom.
Normally it is used maybe 2-3 times a day but when I was quarantined with that bathroom / bedroom I noticed it would "refill" about twice a day, basically it would leak about maybe 1/4-1/2 gal a day from my testing, and confirmed when I add food coloring in the tank and watch overnight.
I know leak is bad but I also understand that almost every gasket will leak a little eventually. When would you notice and when would you "fix" it?
How much do you expect a NEW one would leak normally?
1CCF is about $6 here, which is about 750 gallons and that means that leak is about 0.2-0.4 cents a day.
