External waste water pipe leaking
Discussion
The external waste pipe which runs from the kitchen sink to a drain has begun to leak. Nothing significant but I notice a damp patch from time to time. I've never really had to deal with plastic pipes but am I right to assume it should just twist off or do I need to cut and dismantle?
I'm thinking I just need to buy a new joining piece or do I need to replace more of it?

The cap which is a rodding point would just twist off but the connection between the waste and tee will be solvent welded.
Okay will give the cap a twist and see if there is anything obviously wrong. Is there a way to remove the tee without having to cut it off? The waste coming out the house doesn't seem to have much length to it.
Could I just silicone around the leak point to bodge for now?
Pipe runs under the deck, never lifted it to see where it runs so now might be the time
