Toilet reflushing after flush?

Hi, trying to find out which part needs renewing. After flushing there is a stream of water running down the back of the bowl, which causes the toilet to reflush - is this a leaky seal or the start of something more major?

thanks for you help, I held the ballcock up and worked the handle. Third flush it felt different and it seems to work now

Its a plastic cistern with a metal lever (twist to flush)

is it a push button flush or the old lever style

As I said, the water level never reaches the ball cock so the water continually runs. If I manually lift the ball cock the water stops.

is your ballcock cutting off when filled to water level

It has an overflow pipe but the water level never reaches it as it automatically reflushes. If I hold the ball cock up (which stops the water refilling) the cistern makes a loud glug, glug noise, then I can release the ball cock and it fill correctly with no auto reflush
