Turns out most of the trap underneath the sink was disintegrated. A couple of the nuts had cracked, and part of the pipe that leads to the main dump had threads that had rotted away and it was leaking. What a mess!
I first relied on the local hardware store to help me out, Johnson's Hardware. They've been very helpful in the past but this time gave me the wrong size nuts. When I went back, they were very apologetic and helped me find the right stuff. Nice guys, always like going there. Wish they were bigger!
My next stop was to Home Depot after I found a few more parts rotting away. They seemed to be very helpful but sold me everything under the sun. Needless to say after a little direction from my coworkers I returned everything I could. Unfortunately because they don't sell small chunks of pipe and I drive a car, they had to cut it for me before I left which means no return:( Jerks.
Finally I got what I needed and was able to get it put back together. A new trap, rubber coupler, and some tape. So far, so good!
Thanks for the help guys!
