Plumbing sidework anyone?
Kitchen sink has a pretty decent leak.The leak is coming from where a a copper elbow meets with a copper pipe.Pipes I'm assuming are 1 1/4-1 1/2 inches.This is beyond my plumbing abilities.
Any guys local to the Tiverton area?
I have some important things to take care of at the moment but I will try to post a pic asap.

Is the nut that holds the waste line to the bottom of the sink tight?

Diagnosed the problem.The length between the PVC and the copper elbow is corroded and has a hole about half way down facing the camera.
I took a pic:

If my other option falls through I will certainly keep you mind.
Thank you very much for the offer

Water feed pipes that big? Is that just the drain?

if you are in a bind and its really leaking, go buy some rescue tape, its a tape that only sticks to itself and holds to quite a few PSI it comes under multiple names. it will hold until the plumber gets there, or you get the tools and materials to fix it

Forgot about rescue tape!
Just grabbed a role from HFT for $3.All set,no more leaking.Now I have some time to think about doing more.
