If your kitchen sink or garbage disposal is leaking from the bottom, follow a systematic diagnostic process. First, place a dry towel or bucket underneath the sink to catch dripping water. Dry all pipes, hoses, and housing surfaces completely with paper towels, then turn on the faucet to trace exactly where new droplets form. If the leak comes from threaded drain pipes, tighten the slip-joint nuts or replace rubber washers. If water leaks from the bottom motor casing of the disposal, the unit must be replaced. Verification: Inspect the area after running water to ensure all connections remain completely dry.
