    HI Sara...

    Tub drains don't usually have ORING seals... not usually.

    What kind of tub drain do you have.. a trip lever type or a toe touch type?

    Also, what makes you suspect the tub waste and not the tub/shower valve?

    What steps have you taken to isolate the leak?

    Please answer all questions...
