Thanks very much.

I have got a real nice tight seal on the connecting bolts, but still had a small leak after installing the tank.

To test, I took off the tank, removed the donut gasket on the underside of the tank, and propped it up between two chairs. I then poured some water into the tank, and crawled under to take a peek. The area around the connecting bolts remains dry, but I've got some water leaking out between the flush valve nut (?), and the porcelain tank itself. (not through the flush valve, I didn't put enough water in to reach the bottom of the flapper). There is a thin rubber gasket on the inside of the tank.

Any suggestions?

By the way, this is a brand new bowl and tank.
