Hello all,
First time poster, long time lurker. Here's the situation. Under my kitchen sink I have a very small leak in the drain pipe. It drips about once per minute. Not a huge leak, but I'd prefer no leak.
The pipe configuration is a bit unusual I think though. The pipes coming out of the sink are PVC, but then it connects horizontally into a metal drain pipe that goes to the basement and then out to the main. The PVC goes into the metal pipe about 1.5" via a PVC connector that is smaller on one end. The water is coming out from between the PVC and the metal
It doesn't look like any putty, compound or adhesive was ever used to seal the connection. What would people recommend for stopping this drip?
I've attached two pictures that illustrate the configuration.
