Reach4, thanks for the info. Great suggestions. Oddly enough when I turn the sink on I can actually see water dripping out of the PVC connection in that picture I posted which is above the drain. (The pics upside down). To your point, I think the joint was in bad shape. Looks like they used...

Reach4, I see water dripping down from the PVC connector. This is notated on the diagram above where it reads “water leaking from PVC connector”. Not sure I can add anymore clarity there. Also, there is a picture above of the actual connection of where it’s leaking from. Thanks, J

*correction - leak is on main stack two inches below drain vent branch and well above sink drain branch

MKS, appreciate the feedback. Originally thought the same. Went in to the attic thinking perhaps the boot seal around the vent had cracked but bone dry in the attic. Went up again during heavy rain. Still nothing. Removed the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and ran the sink faucet to find...
