What would cause a toilet's tank to leak a lot whenever flushed?

[Edit]

Answer

there is a gasket beetween the tank and the bowl. the gasket could either be pinched or need to be replaced. It's an easy fix, and you can find standard gaskets at your local hardware store. there should be two or three bolts underneath the bowl. be sure to shut the water off first and flush the toilet as many times as possible to get the water out of the tank. Good luck.

Answer

There are two possible causes why your toilet tank leaks when flushed.The most common one would be your tank to bowl gasket that sits between your tank & bowl. you would need to replace it.The secound can be tricky.Check in your tank and make sure your fill tube is in the overflow.This tube fills your bowl when you flush.If it is out it can cause a leak even if your T.top is on. .

Answer

Your right on checking the fill tube first, i have seen it before. And i'm sure i will see it again. But yes 9 out of 10 will be gasket
