I'm in the midst of installing a new bathroom suite (and it's taking an absolute age - I can't believe how much work is involved) and everything seems to leak. I'm replacing the leaky joints in the pipework one by one, but the leaks in the new bathroom appliances are a bit more of a problem.
I think I've stopped all the leaks from the toilet now, through jointing compound and brute force, except for one: for some reason, after flushing, there is a persistent slow drip from the soil pipe that goes through the wall. The toilet pan is connected to the soil pipe with a standard push-fit connector that fits around the pan outlet and sits inside the soil pipe - like this

As I said, there is a slow drip from the pipe, so obviously the rubber seal isn't working perfectly. What's the easiest (and, within reason, the best) way of curing this drip? I was thinking of simply sticking a load of white silicone sealant around where the pan connector goes into the soil pipe.
