Start at the very beginning. A very good place to start.

Amanda?

without calling a Who now?

Flex tape is really good but its really sticky. Once you put in on, you can't take it off. So if you mistakenly get a wrinkle in it, your stuck with it. Its not like scotch tape. It should stop your leak.

Email a plummer, call a friend.

If you have metal pipes under the sink and a section rots out it will only be a matter of time until more rots out'

I would try Saran Wrap stretched as tight as you can and then duct tape the ends. That will last for a little while but they will need replaced, which is not a hard thing to do.

I have half a Nazi flag you can use to wrap it.

You can't call him.

He's dead.

OP, drain pipes under the sink are probably one of the easiest things to fix, you don't need a plumber this video shows how. I would replace with plastic but if you want to just replace the pipe with a hole you can do that also, but the remaining ones probably won't last long.

I see that spelling is not your strong suit.

The flag with the black spider on it makes people nervous.

A lot of these repair tapes promise that you can affix them "even underwater!" and they will hold. But they lie; they soften and turn to goo eventually.
