A running toilet can also be considered “ghost flushing” and you should advise a plumber if your toilet is always running because it can mean that the bowl is leaking or your valves are not working properly.

A plumber will use a dye to see if the tank has any leaks. Most plumbers advise if you have a running toilet that you should have it replaced.
