Is it leaking out on the floor or being sucked out with the flush? The former speaks for itself, the latter suggests that the waste pipe isn't vented corectly.

Have you recently changed you plumbing. Got an attic convesion or something. As suggested above it suggests a vent problem.

if the pan fills up more than normal then the water drains out completely its usually a blocked sewer , check the manhole or a.j.
