Leak under sink drain

[jwalker1]

I currently have a leak around the drain on one of the sinks in the kitchen. I think it's leaking around the rubber or putty. What do I use to try and replace the putty or rubber? The same thing as in a regular house sink?

I would use the same putty that is used in your home.

Joe, some composite sink manufacturers say to not use plumbers putty. Not sure why but unless you have a stainless sink, go with silicone. By the way, the rubber washer goes below the sink and a fiber or plastic washer under that so the big flange nut can turn without binding.

I used RVers Goop on my sink/pipe connection a couple of years ago and it hasn't leaked since. I think this rubberized adhesive is ideal for this connection in a "rolling earthquake home".

Things rattle loose going down the road. You may need only to hand tighten the under sink fittings to fix your leak. Worked for me.

Same for us. Try the easy thing first.
