Hi, while troubleshooting a bath sink drain issue I bumped the tailpiece below and water leaked out down from the sink. Hmmm. I unscrewed the tailpiece and removed the drain flange, and there was nasty gook between the sink and the overflow port in the flange.. I removed the nasty stuff, and reinstalled the piping, but when I put everything back together I noticed that water pools behind the overflow port and the drain and the sink where the overflow comes down. The overflow port on the drain tail holds back the water from draining down, and is trapped by the gasket below the sink. I hope i described that well enough, please See the pic. Is this normal? Overtime it just gets nasty leaving to unsavory smells.
Thanks
