Water is trickling through the overflow pipe. I installed one of those new valves without the ball about 18 months ago and it worked fine until I got tired of the tank filling slowly and turned the water supply valve so that water flowed into the tank faster. I can't rember how to adjust the valve lower in the tank. Sorry about the skimpy description
Toilet runs all the time

There should be a rod going down with a metal clip connected to the float. You pinch the clip and slide it down the rod further to adjust the float.
Take the toilet back to the store. You're too stupid to have indoor plumbing.
Turn water off, empty tank by flushing, get a good look at valve. usually there's a clip around stem of valve that you slide back, then push down on valve to shorten, then slide clip back on. If you have to, pull the valve out and make your adjustment.
How sensitive to the OP.
:p
