If you are confident the flapper is making a good seal then the overflow tube is the only other place a leak would cause this problem. Either it is leaking at the bottom where it has a rubber seal or the plastic tube itself has a small fracture that is leaking.

The test described above may work, or remove the tube, hold the palm of your hand on the bottom and blow into the top to see if there is a leak.
