My toilet had been running a little after flushing so I replaced the flapper. It's still doing it, just slightly running or dripping in the tank. When i press down on the flapper it seems to seal better and the running stops. Any ideas? Thanks!

What brand and model toilet is it?
What kind of flapper did you install?I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Now I can Plumb!

i don't see a logo anywhere on the toilet. The flapper was a Korky - the red one that supposedly is guaranteed for 5 years.Comment

Usually a name will be located on the bowl between the seat and the tank, It may also be inside the tank along with model numbers...
Can you post a picture of the inside of the tank showing the parts?
Korky flappers are usually a good choice.I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Is the chain too short?Comment

There is a little slack in the chain when the flapper is down. I'm not seeing any brand or model anywhere. Let me know if this picture helps. Thanks!Comment

It looks like it is installed properly as long as that slack isn't getting under it when it closes.
I've seen some of them deformed in the tight packaging maybe the one you have is warped a bit.
Also check the seat on the flush valve where the flapper lands to see if there is any spots that aren't smooth that could cause leakage.I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
