Toilet leaking around tank bolts

toilet

After several adjustments, there is still water leakage around the bolts on the underside of the tank. Any thoughts?

Tank bolt gaskets - every now and again (around 40 years on the last one I changed out) you have to remove the old crusty ones, clean things up, put on new ones, apply silicone grease if you know what's good for you, and reassemble.

If you just crank up the bolts instead you can crack the ceramic, and then it's new toilet time.
