I just installed a pedestal sink. I attached all the plumbing after
the pedestal was in place, since that was the only way I could see to
work things. After I had it all together, I discovered a small leak
at the slip nut where the drain tailpipe extension attaches to the p-
trap. Because this nut is inside the pedestal and behind the p-trap,
I can't get at it with any tool to tighten it. I bought an adjustable
spud wrench today, but it's simply too big to fit inside there. The
back of the pedestal is about 7" from the wall.

Any ideas how I can tighten this a little more? How can I get into
that small space?

Thanks in advance,

There is a "strap wrench" which might reach in.
Maybe make one out of a men's belt?

Apply a good-size glob of silicone caulk to the
tailpiece after the slip nut and washer are on.
Then it will seal with the nut only finger tight.
