Toilet leaking into bowl

Hi
I have a toilet that takes ages to fill and the water leaks into the bowl and as a result just keeps running.
On another toilet I used to be able to adjust a screw and this would fix it. This cistern is one that has a button on the top and is pressed down to flush.
I cannot see anything to adjust,any ideas?

im sure someone more smart will come along, but until then it could be a few things, one of which is a the flapper leaking. If its this its fairly cheap and easy to replace."enough is a feast"...old Buddist proverb0

Perished washer on the siphon valve. I hope you aren't on a water meter, one of these leaking can double water consumption.0

My toilet used to do that sometimes. We found out that if we flushed again it stopped it seemed that it got stuck and it is working fine now. Hope this helps.0 -
pop the lid off the cistern and see if it is overflowing due to the water being over the overflow mark if its below that point one of the seals at the bottom of the cistern will be installed wrong or failed
if its overflowing in the cistern there will be a float/ballvalve depending if bottom/side feed
im guessing as you cant see a screw its bottom feed so isolate the water supply flush the toilet and there will be a float attached to a bar with notches just simply unclip and reclip lower down0 -
Torbeck valve with a hole in the diaphragm.
Put a new diaphragm in if you can get one for your inlet valve.0 -
