It's most likely one of the things mentioned above by the others, but when we moved into our house (15yrs ago), we had a problem with a toilet slowly leaking like you describe. The house had a home warranty for a year and we called out the plumbing company. They first replaced the flapper - didn't solve the problem. Then they replaced all the mechanical parts completely - didn't solve the problem.
They concluded that the toilet was just old and had small cracks in the porcelain that the water was slowly leaking through. Don't know if this was really the case, but they replaced the bowl itself and the problem was solved.
