How do I stop my toilet bowl from trickling?

To check it, turn off the water supply and flush the toilet to completely empty it of water. Remove any remaining water with a sponge or towel.
Why is my toilet trickling water after flushing?
So, what’s the cause? Leaky loos are usually caused by a faulty flush-valve or fill-valve inside your tank – predominantly on dual-flush WCs. It can happen with any WC brand and type, but most leaky loos are the result of a failure in valve seals. These failures can happen on old and new WCs.
