I have been dealing with a leaky sink for over 2 weeks now. We had to install a new sink and vanity, complete with drain and facet, basically the works. We determined that the leak is a very slow seepage really, not a lot of water leaking. We think we fixed it and then a day or two later, there will be a small puddle under the cabinet. What is happening is that the new drain that came with the facet setup has 2 holes in the side, like all drains seem to have since I checked and the old sink drains had the same thing. There is a small space between these holes and the sink hole. Some of the water is going into these holes and seeping down around where the black rubber washer meets with the bottom of the sink, where you screw up the plastic cap to hold the washer tight against the bottom of the sink bowl. Anyway, the water sets in this small area then slowly seeps down the side of the pipe. We have, as a last resort put some silicone in the area and I am hoping when I get home it will not have leaked any today, but let me tell you, I am not optimistic. Even if this works, why am i having so much problems. What am I missing here? Please help me,
