You may want to check to see if the bolts are intact as well as the bowl itself.

Why does my Commode smell but no leak?
The sewer gasses are coming back up from a vapor leak somewhere in the waste line. In my experience as an amateur DIY'er it is most likely that the wax ring directly beneath the commode unit has failed and is allowing the gasses to come back up. I replaced the wax seal yesterday and it made no difference. I even crawled under my home and examined the plumbing underneath and everything was dry and completely odorless. It really has me stumped, the only thing that i haven't tried is replacing the commode. It is about 20 years old but appears to be in excellent shape.

Can brake work cause a coolant leak?
If a coolant leak were caused by brake work, I'd never have that person work on my brakes - ever. Just the brakes, I would think it highly unlikely that it would result in a coolant leak. If they were replacing the master cylinder, then I could see a possibility of someone inadvertently causing a coolant leak, but that would still even be a stretch.
How do you find out whether a shower's stems need replacing or just the packing?
If they leak, they need replacing. No, if they leak they don't need replacing. If they have been scored or eaten they need replacing. If they only leak they need to be re-packed.

How do you fix a comode leak?
Check to see where the leak is coming from. Often it is condensation from the bottom of the water tank and a tray can be purchased to catch this. If the commode is leaking from the base, you probably need to replace the wax seal and that can be a big job for a novice. Also check the water feed line from the floor to the bottom of the tank and tighten if needed. Replacing washers or just tightening connections may be the solution.
