    Hi Lisa

    The answer to your question will depend on exactly where/what is leaking...;) Take a flashlight and see if you can see exactly where the leak is and then tell us if this is a water pipe or a waste pipe. If it is a water pipe you may simply need to tighten a nut or something like that. If the leak is at the waste/drain line you may be able to patch the pipe using a PLUMBER'S EPOXY PUTTY (available at all home improvement stores). Tell us a little more if you can...

    the piping is Iron
    This leads me to think in might be a black cast iron pipe leaking from a poured joint. Did I guess correct?
    We need more information. Describe the leak. Back to you. Tom
