A tank can leak from the bottom of the fill valve where the supply line connects, from the bolts holding the tank to the bowl and from the gasket between the tank and the bowl. That is if there is water on the floor. If it is leaking into the bowl, that is the flapper in the bottom of the tank. Any and all of these can be replaced cheaply and fairly easily. The only issue is when you tighten the bolts between the tank and the bowl do not over tighten one side, go between both sides and tighten each one a few turns and then the other. There should be a ridge on the top of the bowl under the tank that is as tight as you should go. Just until the tank touches the ridge.

Maintaining Your Septic System?
Performing routine septic tank maintenance will prevent your septic tank from backing up and flooding your yard. If a septic tank backup happens, it could cost you thousands of dollars to fix. Use a septic tank kit that you can pour down the toilet once a month. It will contain the necessary enzymes needed to breakdown solid waste material inside the septic tank, keeping fluid flowing freely through the drainpipe. Avoid disposing of materials such as Q-tips, tampons or excessive toilet paper, as these items will clog your system and are hard to break down. Consider using septic system safe toilet paper.
