Recently out toilet has been losing water in the tank. I can hear it trickling in the middle pipe (plumbers- forgive me I don’t know the names). This is the pipe that rises up when you flush. It’s not leaking where the pipe connects to the base of the tank but, somehow traveling through the plastic pipe?

Anyway, that may be irritating but it’s not making any mess. The problem is as the water lever recedes the tank adjusts by refilling itself. When this happens (about every four minutes) the water in the shower shoots up to scalding. Now, everytime I take a shower I’m straining to hear the toilet’s rushing water sound so I can get the hell out of the way. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
