    Regarding A Leaky Kitchen Sink
    Hello,

    My question is I have a leaking kitchen sink it looks like it is coming from the Big main pipe that looks like it should be connected to the outside, When I first turn it on it seems like it does not have enough water pressure, then it starts pouring out under the sink..
    Any suggestions? Sorry if my ? Sounds dumb, I'm a girl & I don't know any plumbing terms...


    Thanks SOOO Much,

    Rebecca

    Does your faucet have a spray nozzle? If so, check to make sure connection is tight on under side of faucet. IF you could post a picture of the under side of faucet(in cabinet) it may help.

    Take a large pail of water and pour it in sink. If leaks, there is a problem with the drain.

    Nice pics Tom. And good advice from Chuck. Make sure to get the water from a different sink, or tub. Between Toms pictures and Chucks drain test, hope you can give us a little more info.
