Leaky waste tank
Dealt with a number. I've found SuperMend epoxy to be an excellent fix. It's
available at
my local hardware store in the glue section. I typically use fiberglass cloth
with it for
larger leaks. I have found it superior to plastic welding. I've never found it
necessary to
remove a tank in order to repair it.

quickly
grew. So far as I can tell it is not from anywhere around the drain - appears to
come from
somewhere further to the rear.
