Default Stuuborn leak on new bath sink tailpiece

Sounds like it's leaking above the tailpiece, probably around RP23060.


Its's not. That part is ok.

main body. Not a lot, but enough to notice.


Seems impossible, unless the downstream part of the P-trap is higher
than where the tailpiece joins it... or your tailpiece doesn't extend
sufficiently into the P-trap.

You've taped a joint that doesn't need taping and still your leak
persists. Something is wrong, and it can't be gravity.
