Default PVC & Cast Iron Waste Line

I have a very small leak in a joint where a PVC waste pipe joins into a cast
iron sewer line. Is there anything like plumber's epoxy which will seal the
leak between two dissimilar materials.

I appreciate the help. Thanks.

The two should not make a direct connection, in other words, you
don't glue or weld or screw them together. The proper way to make
the connection is with a Fernco connector. These are rubber
"sleeves", sometimes with different sized ends to accommodate
different types of pipe. These rubber sleeves have band clamps on
each end. Once tightened they do not leak.
