I have a small leak at a glued connection of two pvc plumbing pipes
that are located horizontally under my kitchen sink. I would like to
stop the leak without having to take apart the pipes,etc,etc.

Any suggestions(plumbers goop,etc) on how to successfully do this
would be most appreciated.


Plumbing though, does mean a lot of things, such as drains and supply
lines with pressure.

You may get away with some sealer on a drain, but not on a supply
Sometimes you just have to do the job right. Anything less may result
in a worse leak that usually happens when you are away for the
weekend.


Good point. I had assumed it was a pressure pipe, but it may not be.

As for those who have suggested methods to fix a pressure pipe, I would
not trust one inside a wall or anywhere a leak would be a problem. It is
just too easy to replace it properly.
