As you can see from the video, the leak is coming from the bit where the pipe enters the wall. Problem is, any piping beyond that block wall you can see in the video is not accessible, as beyond the block work is the outer brickwork.

If I can get access to the pipe, is there a chance it will be as simple as pushing the pipe in a bit and re-sealing, or is it likely that something far more troublesome is causing this problem?

The pipe is basically the waste water outlet pipe for the sink and dishwasher.

Call a plumber perhaps?

I would do if I could afford one.

I am so skint at the moment, I can't even afford the tissues to wipe away my tears.

The pipe should be continuous through the wall(s), the whole section needs pulling out and replacing.

Holy s***t......as in pull down the brickwork and that?

Actually I don't think it is continuous through the wall, as the outlet for the water is futher along the house when you go outside....see image....I think this is how the pipe is...

I sold all my swimming gear to buy the family a tin of beans at Christmas, can't afford to replace it.

[jamesrhunter]

Nope, I remove chewing gum from under chairs, I get pair per piece.

bloody expensive plumbers! what you need to do is turn the wata off. Go to your local college and book yourself on a plumbing apprenticship. 4 years later after your training has finished go out and spend thousands on tools, van, insurance, etc..... then you can fix the leak and turn the wata back on.
