How to fix Garbage Disposal Leaks? 4 Tips.

Garbage disposals can leak in four different places, and each has its own fix:
1. Leaking at the top, where the disposal meets the bottom of the sink.
Try tightening the long, skinny bolts (usually three) that separate the two metal rings at the top of the disposer, using a screwdriver.
Tighten all of them the same amount (as much as possible) so the pressure is even all the way around. If that doesn't work, remove the disposal and reseal the lip under the disposal sleeve—on the top side of the sink—with fresh plumber's putty.
Plumber's putty under sink sleeve prevents the sink from leaking through the drain opening.
2. Leaking at the drain pipe connection
Tighten the two screws on the metal ring securing the drain pipe to the disposal's body. If any of the drain connections are leaking, tighten the large nut at each joint. Hand-tighten plastic parts; use tongue-and-groove pliers (channel-locks) on metal parts.
3. Leaking at the dishwasher drain-hose connection
Tighten the hose clamp on the drain hose, using a screwdriver. If there is no hose clamp, install one.
4. Leaking from the disposal body
Replace the disposal. Leaking here means the outer casing has cracked, and it can't be fixed.
