Issue Reported by Homeowner
Water is leaking from under my kitchen sink. Started yesterday, getting worse. There's a small puddle forming on the floor each morning. I can hear a slow drip when the tap is off.

AI Diagnosis Context
Failing P-trap seal or loose compression fitting on the drain assembly beneath the kitchen sink. The slow drip when the tap is off indicates a drain-side leak — likely where the tailpiece connects to the P-trap. Residual water in the trap is seeping through a degraded washer. Risk of subfloor water damage and mold growth in cabinet interior if not addressed within 48 hours.
