How do I fix this joint leak? Since the pipe is glued to both ends of the elbow, I think I must cut off the both end, but then I would need a longer elbow so I can put them back right? But I don’t think there’s one :(

Or do I need a sleeve to connect the (now shorter) pipe and the new elbow?

Get a new elbow, a pair of couplings, and a short piece of pipe. Cut the elbow out and use the new pipe to fill the gaps

How long was it since you had a pro clean your pipes internally? With pipes like this it should be done every 10 years.

you'll probably need to cut back the pipe, then as duplo as it is glue a replacement 45 and some extensions

Make sure you use the correct glue and prime your surfaces

Correct, other than ABS doesn't get primer, just glue

Doesn't need primer, but still needs to be cleaned and all that jazz
