Answer: This is a common problem and it wastes water and costs you money every month. To fix this follow the steps below:
(Note: This fix is for Kohler Toilets, however, it will work for all toilets that use the fluidmaster style flush system.)
1. Shut off the water supply to the toilet.
2. Remove the float valve top by rotating the top cap 1/4 inch counterclockwise. Lift up the float arm ads you rotate the top. The arm will leverage off the cap.
3. Remove the seal from the cap and rinse it off with water. Check the condition of the seal for any tears or cracks.
4. Cover the unit with a cup to prevent water splashing and turn on the water supply to flush the line. (Do this for about 30 seconds.)
5. Turn the water supply back to the off position.
6. Reinstall the seal (the old one is fine if it is in good condition, if not then replace with a new one.)
7. Turn the water supply back on and check to see if the running water has stopped.

You are the best! I can't thank you enough. Hubby is out of town, I dreaded having to call my brother-in-law the plumber (Again!) and voila, problem solved.
You certainly brightened my day!
