mysterious puddle under kitchen sink - any quick fixes?
Noticed this weird little puddle forming under my kitchen sink cabinet yesterday. Thought it might've been spilled cleaner or something, but nope, it's back again today. Crawled under there, felt around the pipes - can't really pinpoint exactly where it's coming from. I'm not exactly handy with plumbing stuff, so um... anyone had luck patching something like this temporarily until I can get a plumber out?

Until a plumber can check it, put a bowl or shallow tray under the suspected drip, clear items out of the cabinet, and dry the area so any new water is easier to spot. Don’t treat tape or sealant as a repair when the source is unknown. If the leak worsens or you can’t contain it safely, turn off the sink’s supply valves if the leak appears to be from the supply plumbing; that won’t stop a drain-side leak. If water is near electrical equipment, keep clear and shut off power only from a safe, dry location.
