Question

current problem is a trap drain under the sink. every time I fix one spot other starts to leak.
It started with the cross piece from the left hand sink , where it goes into the main just above the tarp. I replaced with a standard piece fron the harware store, incluing new nuts and gaskets(PVC).
It appeared to be alittle long but went together,then it starting leaking around the last nut on the trap.So I went a but a new trap with the flex in it to try and adjust for the other piece. But alas it still leaks at the same spot,last nut.
are the lines suppose to be plumb or level?

Help.

Make sure everything is clean, and use all new washers. Make sure all of the pipes are cut to the proper lengths. Assemble everything without tightening anything. Then start at the bottom of the sink and at the wall and tighten things towards the center as you go.
