Outdoor toilet leaking.

[ray316]

I have a outdoor toilet and we had carpet in there, but yesterday went in there and the carpet was soaking went so took the carpet up to see if l could pin point where the water is coming from .
Checked all around and then flushed the system and the water in the bowl rose up and went down slowly then seen water coming from the base to the concrete floor not where the toilet connects to the base but the floor side.. could someone help me out here and tell me what the problem could be and how to rectify this.. Thanks

Photo of the joint between the pan and the drain would help, but I rather suspect you may have terminal damage somewhere which may not be easy to fix.

Water level rising rapidly when flushed and slowly receding is a sure sign of a blocked drain, I'd be checking downstream Manholes for any signs of an issue and rectify that first. Then back to the Toilet, if its leaking when flushed, I would firstly suspect an issue with the connection between the pan and the drain, (assuming the outlet goes straight into the floor), as the pan is filling with water it is escaping from somewhere it shouldn't and soaking the floor.

Leaking from lower part of base joint to the concrete floor..

Get the drain checked first, make sure there are no restrictions causing the level in the pan to rise as you describe. May be able to seal up round the outlet with something suitable to stop it leaking, shouldn't be much pressure there under normal circumstances. It may well be the pan connector is leaking, the seal on the pan outlet doesn't look too spectacular, almost as if its under stress as the pan position is too far back to suit the drain.

I'd be very wary of trying to replace the connector pan would have to be removed to do so, and chances of getting the pan out without breaking it may be slim.

As the soil pipe is restricted, shown by the backing up of the toilet, it is putting water pressure on that pan connector seal, it isn't designed to take any pressure really, that water then pushes back up past that seal and onto the floor.

As suggested, get the restriction/blockage sorted out first and you may find that'll solve the issue.
