Please look at the attached pic. I've got a stainless sink drain or whatever the correct term is on a new sink. The drain comes in two parts which screw together right below the threads visible in the photo. You can see a drop of water leaking through where it is screwed together. I got this as part of a discontinued faucet, with no instructions. I am getting a little leakage at the top of the drain where the plastic gasket is, as well as at the threads mentioned already. 2 questions:
1. Should I have used teflon tape where the two parts screw together?
2. Have I installed the clear plastic gasket correctly? It looks like it wants to pop out. I used the smaller gasket on the top side of the sink, putting the curved part down. I put the curved part facing up underneath the sink (seen in photo).
