Leak?
I have a small leak on the pipe that comes out of my bulk head from my sump. This is the second time i had to buy a new bulk head and fittings to fix. Well the first time I didn't glue properly. This time I thought I did. Is there a way (glue) that i could use to fix this without having to buy all new stuff?

it's the bulked or the pvc that is leaking?
PVC cement is relatively weak, with a pipe wrent or channel lock you should be able to twist it
