Hey All
new to the forum and undoubtedly a novice. Last weekend I replaced the drain in my bathroom sink. Pretty much just the straight pipe from the drain hole to before the P trap. It is leaking very slowly, but it is leaking. It seems as though the leak occurs where the new metal pipe is inserted into the PVC tubing. There is no rubber washers here, the pipe just fit into the PVC and a plastic washer does tighten up but does not appear to do anything. There is a small amount of play. When I wiggle the PVC it clearly is not “attached” to the drain pipe. This is where the leak seems to be. What can I do to fix it ?
Thanks in advance for tour help.
