toilet is quite old probably greater than 30 years. It moves a little bit when weight is shifted on/off, so could be wax ring or a small crack I suppose.
Odd that it does not feel wet on the ground or in the crawl space underneath. and there is no subfloor just floorboards house is from 1860s.

yep that will be the wax ring and it will continue to leak until you shore up the flooring so it doesnt move any more. if the toilet moves the ring will leak because its a one time pressed on seal and as soon as the toilet rocks its no longer sealed.
everytime you flush it splashes a few drops of waste water out, then it dries before the next flush

Secret here is get one fat wax ring and one of the smaller ones. Add them BOTH, no more leaking or wiggling. Plumbers secret
