Basin Sink leak - extra holes?!

[abz2002]

Just installed a Traviso Basin from B&Q, all was well until after running water for around a minute, water came out of a small hole (looks like a hole for a bolt) under the base of the sink.

All other fixings were dry so am bemused as to what this hole is for and why its there at all?

Its not part of the overflow but is quite close to the overflow waste cavity.

Any ideas before I take a hammer to it and take B&Q to court?! LOL

TBH the whole thing was a bit questionable as the instructions go on about a fixing included which wasn't, took first one back and second one had none either so manager thought it was just a misprint.

Anyway, I don't really want to undo all that work, perhaps just find a way to plug the whole with a rubber bung?

The perpetrator is the hole on the right

Below is one of the opposite side which shows the same hole filled in.

Looks like it may be a manufacturing defect,you'll have to take it back.

Just spoke to the distributor and they reckon the same

They say they are blow holes and are required as part of manufacture but should not be dripping.

Sending me a new one for free, some consolation I suppose.
