Toilet leaking

You might be better off getting a plumber. 5 minute job for a plumber, an hour and a lot of faffing for an experienced diyer, difficult and high risk of leaks for non-diyer.

The source of a water leak isn't always where it is seen dripping - the drip usually forms at the lowest point on a particular flow path.  Water will drip off the end of the bolt because that is a low point, it doesn't necessarily mean that bolt is what is defective.

Also, the days of everyone having 'standard' toilets with generic interchangeable parts are in the past. If this toilet isn't a standard one then sourcing replacement parts might be tricky for someone without experience - walking into a DIY shed and asking for help doesn't always work as the staff don't have the detailed technical knowlege of different makes and models. A decent plumber will know by sight what they are likely to need, if they don't have it in the van already.
