Actually, it makes sense since the tail piece fits INSIDE the trap. I do remember the seal was just a nylon/plastic ring that's tapered on one end.

When I installed the drain I went from an 1 1/4 inch tail piece to a 1 1/2 inch trap using two piece compression ring.

That might be where the leak is as I seen water on the seal at that point previously.

Two piece compression ring may not be doing the job sealing it properly.

Just went online and ordered a one piece rubberized compression ring 1 1/4 x 1 1/2 . for sink drains,

Install that when it comes and see if the leak stops.... [ More ]
