The "fernco" is also an option, of course, but it will
alwoys look like a "band-aid" solution.

Would something like this replace the band-aid look?

Hi,
I wonder if the pipe joint(s) are stressed due to something moved or
moving, If this the case it';; spring a leak again. Try to find why
it is leaking.

Thanks guys, but my problem isn't with the trap itself.

It's where the trap enters the drain stack in the wall.

The leg of the P-trap enters the copper drain stack through a tee
fitting. A compression nut threads on the copper tee fitting to seal
the two together.

Originally, I had this sealed with the vinyl washer and plastic nut
threaded on to the copper tee. Leaked a steady stream, no matter how
tight I made it.

The metal nut with soft rubber washer is better, but it still drips.
