low-level toilet leaking from joint to waste pipe,even when bowl and cistern are empty. How to fix please?

Question: low-level toilet leaking from joint to waste pipe,even when bowl and cistern are empty. How to fix please?
The waste pipe is inserted at the back of the toilet into a waste pipe going to the sewage system. It’s been badly sealed in the first place and 1) I am NOT going back to that guy; 2) I have no money for a plumber, so it’s diy time. I cannot stop the leaking to make it dry for using silicone sealant. Someone suggested Denzo tape, but what is it in French?!? Cheap, clever help would be appreciated.

Answer:

Answer by duster
polking string calk in there may help, or some thing called plummers putty.
