Hi all,
Noticed a leak that comes from the side drainage, not the main part of the sink.

Hopefully pictures make it clear.
Is this a fix I can do myself, e.g. with sealant? Or will this need new parts/plumber intervention?

Thanks as always for your help.
Martin.

The sump and elbow are all one moulding, so assuming that's not damaged, the leak is probably because it's not sealed to the underside of the stainless draining board properly.
If it were me I'd take it off, clean it up, check it out for any cracks and check the condition of the sealing washer, if any, and probably use some silicone between it and the draining board when putting it back 😀
