Drainage Sealant

A few months ago I replaced old/crumbling ceramic drain pipe(s) from two downspouts on my home. I replaced them with flexible (black) plactic drain lines. After a wet basement corner, I have discovered that I have a leak. The lines are joined near the foundation by a "Y" connector...and leak where the lines join the connector. I tried many adaptors/sleeves and even other "Y" connectors in attempts to stop the leaks but no luck. Is there any water tight sealant/caulk that could be used on the connections?? Everything I see is for use above gound...this would be on the Y connections that are buried.
Thanks!

Use 100% clear silicone. let stand for a few hours before burying.

If your using that black flexible drain pipe..........I hope you backfilled it with pea gravel; this pipe can collapse just by your hands......let alone 100's of pounds of earth.
