The two bathroom basins in my 1986 house
(finished by a handyman-occupier) are different.
Downstairs there is a rubber (?) gasket between
the basin and the tile surface into which it sits.
Upstairs there is no gasket (or caulking) -- so
moisture creeps round the edge of the basin
at one point, then drips down underneath.

What can I do to fix this leak?

Remove basin, caulk correctly. If you want to stop the problem right away,
but need to put off the reinstallation for a while (like, until fishing
season is over), you could run a bead of caulk around the edge, but it's
going to look awful, and get in the way when you need to wipe down the area.
