Hello to all.
New person here, have no experience with pipe work/plumbing in general but like to think I am a quick learner and I'm looking for some advice if anybody could please help me.
Please see my pictures, the first is where the leak is (there is another view of this in the third picture) - directly above the copper pipe, this seems to be led off what looks like a waste pipe into the ground. The waste pipe is coming off the 'U' pipe directly underneath the sink, this can be seen in the second picture. Bottom right outlets is to the washing machine, top right is the overflow pipe for the back of the sink.
The leak itself is coming from the top left of the 'C' fitting coming off the waste pipe. It will fill about 150ml of a measuring jug every week or so, so I don't think there is much water coming through the pipe.
The help I need is first to ascertain what the pipe is there for/its purpose and from there maybe a bit of advice in a fix.
I did try to take it apart last night but it is very tight which leads me to believe there's some sort of sealant keeping it intact even though there's a leak.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
