How to do if my garbage disposal leak at the water outlet?

Chapter 1: Outlet
The second most likely spot for a leak is the wastewater outlet of garbage disposals. There are two reasons why this joint is prone to leaking: 1) the first installation was somewhat wrongfully done, 2) the vibration of the machine has compromised the dignity of the joint or the elbow pipe itself.
To handle the situation, we have to see whether it’s something repairable. If there’s nothing too serious, we need to readjust the joint for a better connection.
Try using a screwdriver to check if the bolts are tight enough and see if that fixes it. If it still leaks, remove the elbow piece and put it back properly.
Here are some tips:
1. Check if the elbow pipe is cracked. If it is, buy a replacement. It can’t be fixed, not properly.
2. Disconnect the subsequent pipes from the elbow piece for easy removal of the elbow piece.
3. When putting the piece back, make sure that the rubber gasket is in place.
4. Don’t fasten the bolts too tightly to avoid damaging the parts. Snug is good enough.
Chapter 2: Inlet
The food waste disposer inlet is designed to receive the outlet from the dishwasher. It’s a fairly basic and standard connection where hardly anything can go wrong.
And if there’s something, it’s usually an easy fix, unless the inlet port is cracked. If it’s indeed damaged, you’re advised to send for professionals.
Otherwise, just tighten the hose clamp a bit more OR remove the hose, check for damage, clean the port and reconnect the whole thing. Remember to
Use a (soft) tube/hose of the right size. Refer to the specification sheet.
Always use a hose clamp and not to overtighten it to avoid any damage on the port and the hose.
