Fitting a new toilet at the moment, and for the last couple of days I've been having a saga getting the waste watertight. I'm using one of those flexible extension connectors now, with a large jubilee clip over the toilet connection, and it's still weeping.

The outlet of the new pan is a little lower than the old one, casing the waste pipe to bend up a little. Is this likely to be the root cause of my problem? I realise that there will always be a little water sat there. Is there a clever way of sorting this without having to alter the soil stack to lower the waste, which will be a right faff.

The only other thing I can think of is there is a small crack in the pan. Thanks.
