I have a leaking under one of the sink drain of 2nd floor. I cut my 1st floor ceiling open and I saw it (image you look up and see what is in the picture):

I feel the water comes from the joint, the lower part is wet. But the water droplet eventually forms on the joint.

I understand the proper way is to cut the straight pipe and redo it. But is there some other easier ways?
 
It is so easy to do a proper repair on that situation, it would be silly to try to a bandaid repair. Cut a little more drywall, and the repair should take maybe 1/2 hour. Should even be able to use regular glue couplings, what with all of the room for movement that oversized hole gives you.
