My garbage disposal leaking from two places in the bottom from the bottom. There is two notches where the leak is. Nothing else is leaking or dripping.

My garbage disposal moves. I'm pretty sure that's where the leak is coming from. How do I fix that? Could you point me to a video please? Thanks.

why don't you show the parts you're talking.

If it is dripping from the bottom of the unit, it is probably coming from one of the mentioned drain connections or the seal to the sink basin. If you cannot verify a leak from any of those places, the disposal may be rusted through and need replacement. Good Luck!

hello Tim,

My disposal is leaking at the very bottom. Can that be fixed ? What causes that?
