Just wondered if anyone could help. I was decorating a flat today and noticed this in their garden. I don't know anything about plumbing but is this a soil pipe that's leaking sewerage into their garden? What could have caused this to happen and what would be the best course of action to take.
Thank you

The connector has fallen apart.
The plastic ring lower down the pipe that's being held up with a drain rod, belongs on the straight connector to hold the seal tight.

It needs a new straight connector fitting.
 
Thankyou for the quick replies it is very much appreciated. how much roughly can the landlord expect to pay a plumber to carry out this work?

Did you do the taste test?
 
I didn't but I poked it with a stick and it was soft in texture so I ran. Is this a major health hazard? Could someone get cholera from this?
 
Whats occurring here .... that looks like a drain rod around the back of the pipe and something is wrapped round it
