I was doing some work yesterday on my stinky dishwasher adjusting the hose connecting the dishwasher to my garbage disposal and in the process I banged my elbow on the J-trap under the sink and then noticed that it started to leak. The water leaks very slowly oozing out through the top of the nut that I used to connect the straight pipe to the J-trap. When the water is running through the pipes I notice no leaks it is only when I shut the water off and the trap is filled with water that the water starts coming out of the first connection in the J-trap. Hopefully that isn't too confusing. I have tried everything I can think of, readjusting the straight pipe(this actually made thing worse as the T joint started leaking), plumbers tape and still a slow very annoying leak. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am at my wits end with this plumbing problem.
