Sometimes the best way to find a leak is with your fingers.

if it's a slow, most times the fingers work best especially in the case of
a toilet where it's a PITA to crawl around on the floor to look behind it
or under the tank...

Excellent advice. Two may be too much and could crack the bowl.

You're silly. It happens just as using a cold (perhaps stored in a cold garage) wax ring can crack a bowl. They aren't as tough as they look.

Yeah, but the bowl may already be wet from condensation. If it was leaking at the base of the tank, it will cause the float valve to kick on when it runs low, but you should probably hear the water leaking before you hear the valve kick on.
If it is leaking at the ring, you will notice the unmistakable smell of sewage. Subtle at first, but unmistakable.

1) The ring would have to be damn near frozen solid to break the bowl 2)who installs a frozen wax ring,it needs to be warm enough to conform to the flange and tail end of the toilet trap.That would be like applying frozen putty to a basket strainer in a kitchen sink,no seal.The waxy consistency is what acts kind of like a washer and an "o" ring in one.A wax ring has the texture and consistency of hardened grease/lard, even when cold it's somewhat soft.It is a must have in my inventory that I carry on my truck at all times,Dead of winter included.Never had a ring freeze,and for the sake of argument,if it did freeze,it would be workable in the time it takes to R&R the toilet.(R&R)=remove/reseal

And yet here in the Northeast, it happens.

A plumber friend of mine loves to laugh at those who have done it. As well as laugh at those who tighten the flange bolts "just a little bit more".

If you are truly a plumber, you must have seen all kinds of homeowner stupidity.

just as a thick one could be too much and pose the same problem albeit 
again very unlikely in either case... it seem that no one understands,
this isnt installation of 2 new rings, just the installation of a single
ring over wax that's already been compressed

here in the south we're smart enough not freeze the wax before
installation, maybe you guys up in the north east should learn
about fernco wax free seals, they dont freeze so even you guys
wont have to worry about cracking the toilet because you left
the wax in the garage

Yes. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the difference in temps.

Cracking a toilet with a frozen wax ring would have to be the ultimate in plumbing newbie screw-ups.

Yup,I have seen all types of homeowner and apprentice's mistakes ;such as tightening the closet bolts to much ,resulting in a cracked/broken toilet.Sorry , I have personally never seen or heard of a toilet bowl break , due to a cold ring,however,I am sure somehow, some way,somebody has.Just like the old saying goes,"what can go wrong,....will go wrong".

So after I didn't do anything, the leak started to get a little worse, i noticed it was decently wet behind the toilet.  It was ddripping 1-2 drops every second.  I put somethin' under it to catch it and called maintenance.

Fixed, yay.

My actions generated the chain of events that lead to the problem getting fixed.  By a liberal interpretation of the phrase, I "did it myself"
