Leak in new bathroom sink drain
I had this same problem the other day. I think it's caused by the holes in the pipe that are there to drain away the water coming through the overflow. With some sinks, the rubber gasket on the drain pipe rises up higher the holes in the drain. I fixed the problem by buying another rubber gasket and using it in addition to the one that comes with the drain. The two gaskets together were thick enough to stop the leak.
