Hi everyone.
Today I noticed it was wet under my kitchen sink cupboard - after various trials trying to figure out where the water was coming from I found it was coming from the black drain part that connects to the sink and what the plughole drains down into (it will have a name I'm just not sure of it and don't want to quote inaccurately)
Now for the weird bit. Mine only leaks when I run hot/warm water down it. If I run the cold tap for over a minute there are no drips. If I fill a washing up bowl with just cold water and pour down with some pressure, there are no drips.
If I run the hot water tap however, even if it isn't hot (it takes a minute or so for the hot water to flow through) the drips start immediately.
I wondered if it was somehow the hot tap leaking so boiled the kettle. Soon as I started to pour the drips started.
Wiped everything dry, tried again with cold for a full minute. Ran my finger along; still dry.
Turned the hot water on (even though it was barely lukewarm); drips from turning the tap on.
I'm sorry if I sound ignorant but I thought if something was leaking it was leaking, and if it wasn't it wasn't. Does anyone know what may be the issue?
