old black water, keep on rollin

well, the annoying leak has been upgraded to icky leak. seems the toilet on the second floor is seeping with every flush. and has been for a while.

and if doubling up on the wax ring doesn't fix it, then that will mean it's the drain. which... boy howdy, that will be a whole pile of i-love-home-ownership right there.

well, doubling up on the wax ring didn't help, but also we found out that the leak happens when the tub is draining as well as when the toilet is flushed. we had looked around the tub to see if it was leaking, but the leak is somewhere after the two drain paths merge.

(i cheated and had an actual plumber in here doing leak-hunting. my initial attempts had failed to figure it out, so i brought in ringers.)
