Hello, I have an upstairs tub with an OS&B manufactured drain that has a leak from the underside. It has had a small drip since it was installed and the area is a real pain to get into from in the basement. The drain seems to only drip when the tub is full and someone is in it.
Recently I removed the drain from the topside of the tub, re-puttied the flange and thread taped the threads. It is now leaking worse when the tub is full and someone is in it.
I attached a few pictures, the one marked up with arrows shows the following: **Red arrow indicates where the first original drip was coming from - not on the fitting but close to it (not sure if the drip was moving from underside drain to where the red arrow indicates?
**Green arrow indicates where now faster leak *appears to be leaking*.
**Hand drawn red line appears to what could be a water stain in underside body of the tub.
Based on this, any suggestions on what I can do to stop this from leaking?
