It was the slow drool, which you could see immediately as minute
rippling in the water in the bowl. Tried removal and replacement, with
teflon tape, no dice; also, all extraneous sealants around the threads.
I assume the threads had also corroded, to the point where nothing
would seal. Ended up replacing the flush valve. Messy but educational,
and relatively quick.
