If rubber gaskets do not completely overlap the drain, and metal parts were made of poor quality materials or have already worked their life, then the rust that forms on them tends to leak out of the tank to form a non-aesthetic strip where a thin stream of water flows from the drain tank.

The drain tank is poorly adjusted, so the water flowing out leaves traces of rust on the walls of the bowl.
