Pipe showing signs of leakage. In attic

I was unsure about this pic. The vent pipe was in the attic and appears that it was leaking.

Looks like a sloppy primer/glue job to me.

I was leaning towards that, but wanted to be sure. Thanks

Darius, you have brought some good questions to the forums. Not only for your education, but for others too. Glad to see that you’re willing to ask when not sure. Keep them coming and hopefully others are willing to assist. :wink:

I agree with Larry as well.

One thing I look for around not only plumbing vents, but also any other vents and chimneys, is stained and or wet insulation underneath. If the insulation is wet you know you have an active leak.
