Mike Scott Plumbing has been pretty good in the past so I would hesitate to second guess them. On the other hand, for a couple hours work and the cost of a few parts you could try fixing it yourself and potentially save several hundred dollars.
I agree, but if the leak is between the tank and the bowl, I would expect water to flow onto the floor. I cannot understand why a plumber would expect to fix the problem by replacing the cannister seal. Something seems to be missing from this issue.
