Tightening slip nut inside sink pedestal --- help!

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,

"Spud wrench"? Hadn't heard that term before. Google shows a weird
type of crescent wrench.
How about a basin wrench - works in tight places are right angles. I
don't know if one would open far enough for the slip nut though and
don't want to dig through my wreck of a toolbox looking for mine.
