Is the trap under the sink metal or white plastic?

Metal.

Any word on temporary fix w/tape?


No tape is going to properly fix it long term. Most any tape can buy you a
few weeks, like duct or electrical tape. You can buy a new trap for about
$10 and replace it yourself for just a few dollars. It is one of the easier
plumbing jobs you can do. It will leak again if it is corroded.
