Sink Leak Fix

I recently noticed a leak from my kitchen sink. It was coming from between the sink and the strainer / drain. As I took it apart to fix it I found the way the strainer / drain was originally installed was with a thin rubber or plastic seal. The seal went the way of the dodo. As you can imagine after all these years, it was dry and brittle and not doing its job. I fixed it with some plumbers

Two part answer.. part one: DITTO, only I did not use plumber's putty I used Dap Quick Seal

Part two: The store advised that you should not use Plumber's Putty on plastic drains, Seems plastic and Plumber's putty do not mix well.. Who'd a tunk it.. They suggested teh DAP.

Part 3 (OOPS I did say 2 part)
Turns out I had a second leak in my fresh (Cold) water line, one of the couplings.. Well I ended up re-writing a song

When the Shark Bites, Into PEX dear, Water leaks, go away...

(No that is not the actual first line but it gives the idea).
