Seal sink overflow?

[Paul Chambers]

Hi All,
This newbie would appreciate any suggestions.

Bought house with super modern stainless steel bathroom sink. When the line connecting the overflow hole to the main drain started leaking, I saw that the previous owners had just jerry-rigged some plastic conduit there, which had cracked. Looked online to try to find the correct part but couldn't even identify brand or model of sink -- it's something European and exotic, possibly "Bolan Eko" based on pictures on the internet. Asked local plumber for help and he looked in supply house but couldn't find anything that would work.

At this point I'd just like to plug the overflow hole and where it connects back to the main drain. For the latter I can probably find a cap to screw on, but the hole is tricky and has a weird piece coming off it, with no thread, so I'd just like to seal it somehow.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Sounds like an ikea vanity sink drain. Have you got a picture of it?

Does it look something like the one in this link:

Smooky,
Thanks for the reply but no it doesn't look like those. Here are 2 pics: one of the sink and one from underneath showing the part coming from the overflow hole and the part connecting to the main drain.

They call that a banjo style overflow connection
