Question leaking kitchen sink & replacing cabinet floor

Hi. can any one give me info on how to best find and repair the leak under my kitchen sink (sink has a garbage disposal) and then how to replace the floor of the cabinet which is warped due to the leak? I have let the water and the disposal run to see I could see the leak but never saw a thing.

Thanks

check your spray hose connection.....or if your getting alot of water on the counter it may be leaking in at the edges of your sink causing water damage over a period of time.

Locating leak under kitchen sink

Leaks usually occur where pipes or hoses join. Inspect for signs of corrosion and mineral deposits. Run your hand along pipes and joints to see if you can feel moisture. Once you have determined the location of the leak, then you will be able to determine what must be done to repair the leak. The board in the bottom of the cabinet can be removed and replaced with a piece of plywood. The leak should be repaired without delay as moisture can damage subfloor.
