Here are some tips on how to find leaks:
Take the cover off the toilet tank. Add enough food coloring to the tank to give a strong color to the tank water. Let it stand or sit overnight. If toilet bowl has turned color of the dye, you have a leak.
Look and listen. Take off tank cover and see if the water is running into the overflow tube and also carefully listen for leaks. Don’t rely completely on this test as only extreme leaks can be seen or heard.
Watch for meter movement. To test the entire building or house for leaks, try this suggestion. First, find the water meter and place a toothpick over the meter pointer. Don’t use any water for 15 minutes. After that time, if the pointer has moved, there is a leak somewhere in the house (most likely a toilet).
