sweating toilet cistern

    I have a toilet cistern that's sweating and dripping water onto the floor.
    I read that it might be the flapper valve
    The cistern is cold to touch.

    But my question is, should i hear water cycling if it's the flapper valve?

    I don't hear anything and replacing this valve probably means shutting the water off at the main as i don't see any valve for the pipe that services this toilet.

    Unless there is a leak, then your cistern is sweating as the cistern is colder than the air around and therefore the moisture in the air is condensing on your cistern thus causing the sweating and dripping.
