Is anything holding the flapper from closing at the bottom of the tank? Extra
chain, etc... Your leak has to be in the tank itself... it's supposed to hold
the water no matter whether there's a leak elsewhere or not.

The chain and/or handle is broken right? The chain is probably
heading down the drain and holding the flapper up off the seal. pull
the chain out of the hole.

He might be using the wrong kind of water !!!
Change the water and let us know if that helps.
