Drip where ribbed dishwasher outlet pipe joins sink waste?

[grizzlybiker]

Having just re-connected the outlet tube from my dishwasher to the spur / "fir tree connector" at the kitchen basin waste (just above the "S" bend - I have a small leak. It drips abut half a cupful every 30 minutes if the dishwasher is working.

Hopefully the picture is visible below.

The problem is that the pipe is not a tight fit over the connector. So even if I tighten the jubilee pipe clip at tight as possible, water can still drip.

I thought I could replace the pipe with something a bit narrower at the end but I wondered if there was an easier solution ?

Thank you

It would be nice to see that connection turned uppermost or at least horizontal, if such a thing is possible.......failing that, dry everything, add a good smear of silicone and reconnect.

Thank you John.

I went to my local PM to get some silicone and also bought a new piece of plastic with a wider diameter. This screwed in to replace the previous bit.

All is now snug and drip free. I also applied a coating of silicone.

(I wish I knew the name of the part so I could describe it better)

Thanks - all is now dry
