The kitchen sink pipe drips a drop per hour. We'd called the plumber
over and he replaced the sink funnel and drain pipe. It still drips.
I noticed he put some gasket glue. But it appears to be leaking at
the same area which is at the neck of the funnel (right below the
bottom of the sink.) What could I do to solve this problem without
calling the plumber.

Thanks

I am not totally sure what the problem is, but off hand it does sound
like the plumber did not find the real problem or he did not fix it. Give
him a call. Tell him what is going on. Assuming he did not say something
like "The work I did should fix it, but you really need to ......" and you
did not do as he suggested, he may offer to come out and make his work good
without charging. If he does, then make sure you keep his name and phone
number handy for yourself and anyone who may ask you if you know a good
plumber. He he does not want to cut you a deal, then, assuming there is
nothing about this you did not tell us, then consider the cost a learning
experience and start asking around for the name of a good plumber.

From your description, it may be the sink itself or a problem with one
of the fittings of the U shaped pipe. That may be fixable by tightening the
large nuts or replacing the washers and re-installing

You might want to stop by your local hardware store and pick up one of
their DIY books for the homeowner. This kind of thing is difficult to
explain without photos.
