If the flapper is down, and it still 'whining' or leaking water sloooowly all the time - it's a bad seal. If you can't replace the flapper, a temporary fix is to flush the toilet, draining the tank - rub some VASELINE around the flapper and the drain edge, so it seals better when it's down. This will last a couple of days to a week, depending.
