If this *were* rocket science, you would use duct tape, not teflon
tape.

That said, it would help if you knew exactly where the leak was. Is it
possible to wrap rags or paper towels around the various junctions of
the drain to determine where the leak is? If the upper most rag gets
wet first, then you've isolated the problem area, and so on. Let us
know.

Thanks for the reply DD.

It's definately coming from the part closest to the bottom of the sink, ie
the junction where the rubber gasket is supposed to seal it, or possibly
leaking down the threads through the gasket and nut which holds the gasket.

Part of the problem is, even though there is likely a good seal inside the
bowl, the vent holes in the pipe are there which will overflow water to the
outside of the pipe and is likely dribbling through along the threads and
past the gasket. I think if I put some dope and tape where the pipe
threads through the gasket and nut, that would stop it?

Thanks,
