    Kitchen Drain Joint Leaking
    I have a small leak I am pretty sure is coming from the joint of the kitchen sink drain. It seems to be from the top of the pipe section that is the U of the trap.

    The pipe is plastic (PVC?). Any thoughts? Thanks

    That's a compression joint. Just snug up the nut. Good luck, Tom
