    How can I fix this potential leak at the overflow pipe at the tile line?

    12 hours after the last post. The water is around the same level. I removed the plug and this is how it looks like. I’m fairly certain there are gaps around this threaded pipe that’s letting water out. What do you think? How should I seal it?
