Hello,

attached are 2 photos. When water flows, water leaks out from this spot.

What should be done............

Siphon connection under the washbasin with metal coupling and seals


Plumbing valve under washbasin, metal connection visible

First, I would replace the seal.

If I understand correctly, there is no seal there. A fitting is screwed into the valve, to which the washing machine hose is connected at the bottom. According to the arrows, water flows through the fitting between the adapter and the valve. So, 1.) carefully check if it is hand-tight. Use a wrench to turn it an additional quarter to half a turn if it was not already tight. 2.) Unscrew the adapter, clean the threads on both the adapter and the valve, and inspect for any damage. Then screw it back in using a small amount of silicone sealing tape (as shown below) or hemp. Tighten by hand plus an additional turn or so with the wrench.

We have a sealing ring inside.

I would also use a silicone sealing tape to seal it, as long as it is securely screwed in. Then it should be watertight.
