Leak from iron y connecter between tub drain and trap pipe. Can this be fixed without replacing all pipes? I have some access from hole in adjacent wall.

Is it cast iron or brass? Where Is it leaking? Are there large nuts on the fittings?

Most likely. Is this a leak from a compression joint or a threaded connection? Back to you. Tom
