My toilet, a few times a day starts running water for a few seconds then stops. How do I fix it?

    Slow leak.

    You can replace the gasket/float, or you can try cleaning the probably moldy/algae seal topside and float underside off and seeing if that fixes the leak. I always drain the tank and clean the seal first when I get this issue, takes a minute and usually fixes or significantly reduces the frequency.

      Agreed on the slow leak. Replacing the gasket usually does the trick IME.
