Help! While retiling my bathroom recently, I nudged the pan and subsequently managed to disturb the seal between the pan and the lead(?) soil pipe which then started weeping a drop every flush. The sealing material (caulking?) is not too clever, ie very crumbly and damp especially at the bottom of the seal. The pan seals into a deep collar on the soil pipe and after numerous attempts to seal it with propriatry leak stoppers, mastics, and glues the drips still keep seeping under the repair! I don't want to split the pan from the pipe as that will cause new problems with the cistern/pan pipe seals. Does anyone know of anything that will seal this damp joint before the moisture ruins it?

Linseed oil putty would have been the original sealant
 
Thanks guys, I've sealed the damp putty with LS-X, will pack the collar with new putty and wrap with denso tape. If it still leaks after that I'm going to cry!
