When they leak from the joint just past the control stop? Remove the o ring. Sand or buff all corroded metal smooth, grease heavily the o ring groove seat, reinstall o ring carefully., reassemble. So far has stopped all of them unless the oring is damaged. Torn, thin spot, splits etc. Replace o ring and stop the leak.
Still leaking in back a little but over all the right thing. I would have cleaned the spud valve and washers with soap and water. Some times you just need to replace it. That wobbly toilet doesn't help. Good jon
How much is too much tightening of the spud nut? A fresh soft and tacky spud gasket should not need excessive tightening which God forbid can crack the toilet. also don't forget flat jawed wrenches for the chromed and very soft brass Sloan valve fittings.
I would've never use the same old rubber gasket, Even if the old one looks good, It's always better to change it, Also you should know that everything looks fine now, (NO LEAKS), Until you leave, Plumbing is tricky like that, It's gonna wait until you step out that door.........Then,..... Wammo.😊
How long did that repair last? Reusing old parts that was leaking might buy a few weeks, but I hope you went back with new parts for longer lasting repair.
Ive repaired flushometers like this before and i will say that sometimes the parts arent defective when the material leaks. Sometimes the rubber washers become displaced due to people flushing with their feet or pushing up against the flushometer when they sit down. Ive done this exact repair and just took everything apart washed the washers and fittings and then put it all back together, that action buys me an extra 2 yrs life before i have to replace the material.
