That's my concern, Cb, which is why I'm not sure how to proceed. It's leaking at about the seven o'clock position, right where black meets white in the image.

I don't see a way to remove the offending area, as there's no room to work, short of removing the vanity and cutting the wall away. I'm now wondering if there's a way to sleeve that section with a smaller OD pipe that extends far enough beyond the leak (to a few inches behind the wall) that, with some sealant between the OD of the new pipe and ID of the existing pipe, will solve the issue.

That assumes, of course, that I could then piece together the other fitting and joints to accommodate the new stub-out size.

I can successfully rebuild the engine of my 930 in my basement but I can't figure out how to repair this sort of leak.

Plumbing sucks!
