The short answer
A toilet leaking at the base is usually a failed pan connector, cistern seal or loose fixing, and a dye test shows which.

Questions and answers
It's not a burst pipe, so it rarely needs a middle-of-the-night visit. But waste water sitting on a floor gets into the sheeting and joists, and that repair costs far more than the leak. It's same day on most jobs, seven days a week.
Only when the leak is coming from the pan connector or the seal underneath, and the dye test tells us that before we start. A weeping inlet nut or a loose cistern bolt is sorted with the toilet exactly where it is.
Because the leak is on the waste side. Either the cistern-to-pan seal lets water down the back of the pan as the flush passes, or the connector under the pan lets some of the flush escape at the floor.
Condensation forms on the outside of the cistern on cold, humid days and drips straight down. A leak keeps coming whatever the weather. If you're not sure, a dye test on the visit answers it.
It hides the water without stopping it, so the floor keeps soaking unseen. The base is sealed after a proper repair, with a gap left at the back so any future leak shows itself.
A connector or seal that no longer grips lets sewer air out along with a little water. Fixing the joint stops both.
