Thanks for all the replies. I wanted to get some ideas. Here is more on
the situation. I see a leak in the cellar cealing. its about 18 inces
over from where the sink is. Looking under the sink in the cabinet i cant
see any leaks so the exposed pipe is ok. The drain pipe going into the
wall is copper. The best idea I guess is to go thru the back of the next
cabinet over above the leak. I didnt think of that. ....and I am capable
of fxing it myself. so again...thanks for all the response.

One end of the copper drain pipe connects to the trap under the sink. No?

You need to know where the other end connects to <whatever>. 'Tis
likely you'll need to replace the entire length of copper pipe as
I did.

Penetrating the wall where the leak is may well be futile in the
long-run.

Good Luck,
Puddin'

The leak might be located exactly with one of those TV cameras
mounted on the business end of a cable. The device is used to find
leaks in drain piping. Its possible use would depend on the ID of your
drain piping. Since its an expensive tool for a one time use, you'd
have to see if its available for renting. But if it works for you, you
minimize the amount of tearout.
