Kohler is correct. The most likely cause of this problem is an obstruction in the common vent stack that both toilets share. When you flush the old toilet it need more air to flush and will get it from the easiest source (your new water saver toilet). First adjust the float level in the old toilet so it won't use as much water or just stick a brick in the tank to take up space.Second, run a snake down the vent stack from the roof to check for obstructions. Birds will sometimes nest in there.

Place a few drops of food coloring in the tank of the toilet, if it is leaking you will see the color seep into the toilet bowl within a short period of time. If you see the food color in the toilet bowl you will need to replace the flapper.

Remove the top of the water tank.
check to be sure that the flush cover (about in the center of the tank) can close all the way. It seats into a 2 inch hole - and must seat all the way around. If it fails to seat, then the fill valve (on the left side of the tank) will continously let water into the tank.

As a starter experiment, you may try just turning whe water off at the wall shut off. Then inspect the tank to confirm that it is losing water.
If confirmed, then the above solution is correct.
If it is not losing water, then the fill valve is faulty and will need to be replaced (it is allowing water to over flow into the "OverFlow" tube.....

I recommend that you keep the water turned off at the wall until the toilet is needed - and the problem is repaired.

Tube in cylinder. Water should not come over cylinder, but 1/2" or so below.

Toilet leak Toilet sometimes leaks down the drain. No water on the floor. I can hear it dripping. Put food coloring in the tank and no color in the bowl over night.
There will never be a dripping sound from the bowl unless there is water on the floor indicating a cracked bowl or a gasket has lived its life and needs replacing . The flush kit could drip though, Most likely an indication to adjust the level of the float or perhaps even replace the kit altogether, Never hearing the tank fill up is not related to dripping.

Toilet flushed then dripping sound at floor level
If you;re sure its under the toilet, look for a crack in the base, especially around the retianing bolts, or the wax bowl seal is gone, needs replacing.

Toilet has dripping sound - NOT the flapper
As long as the chain on the flapper is slack after it flushes it will seal.
then put some weight on the flapper just to experiment to ensure a tight seal.
if you can see the drain elbow under the toilet in the basement with the ceiling exposing the drain that would be the guaranteed way to know for sure. I am assuming you have done that.
Last but not least the small line on the fill valve that goes into the overflow could be weeping from the fill valve as this is the bowl wash.. So it will drip or sometimes it runs a bit . If this helps

Toilet keeps running... it's making the sound a toilet makes right before it shuts off - like an air sound.
your float on the toilet inside the bowl is possibly no good what you need to do is replace it by getting a standard kit at homedepot or lowes or any near by plumbing shop first shut off water behind bowl then unscrew hose that conects to bottom of the bowl then you will see one more nut take that off then replace with new going backwards with the same steps also you will need to empty bowl to do this by holding down handle while the water is shut off

Please tell me how to get more water in my toilet bowl..not the tank..the bowl please..thankyou. It is a Jacuzzi Era Elongated bowl.
The water level in the bowl is determined by the built in trap in the back of the bowl. Water is allowed to enter the toilet and it then "over flows" the p trap in the back when flushed. Once it's flowing, it syphons the water out of the bowl. While the tank is re-filling, a small portion of water should be running down the overflow from the small hose clamped onto the overflow This rinses the inside of the bowl, as well as helps-refill the bowl. Be sure that hose is directed inside the overflow tube. To see what the max water level in the bowl can be, add some water from a cup or glass. Once it's full you can keep adding and it won't get any higher. This will be the max level you can expect.

This description is a little vague, but I will do my best to help. The first question I would ask is. Is this water going down into the bowl? This can be checked by adding a couple drops of food coloring to the water in the tank and waiting a little while before looking for colored water in bowl. If there is colored water in bowl than the most common problem would be a faulty flapper or flush gasket. If no colored water shows up than the ballcock valve may need to be adjusted or replaced. I hope this helps.
