Hi there,

My DIY plumbing skills are still at a novice level. My sink is leaking quite seriously at the point indicated by the red arrow. Can I fix this with duck tape or plumbing tape or by some other means? Is there some sort of anti-leak glue or sealant I can use?Buying a new sink is not an option.

Many thanks! Help

Just take it to bits (screw in the middle) clean everything and put it all bacl together.

Looking at you pic the waste is out of line as though something has bumped or knocked it.

If you dry it well you could put a bead of silicon, instead of the washer, on the flange that sits in the sink, do not put anything underneigh other than the big washer.
