It is leaking at the junction of the plastic fixture that fits in to the blue barrel. I am loosing my rain water and it is tragic. Trouble is, the water will be constantly leaking even as I apply whatever you suggest. Broccoli and kale are screaming "Fix it Mrs Moore. FIX it, or we'll die come July!!"
So fellas, it is up to you to inform me of the options. I have a Lowes nearby or a wallyworld. Tractor Supply too. Mid Kentucky.

Get yourself a small tub of Plumber's Putty. Take some and roll it into a slender rope between your hands just like you used to do with Silly Putty when you were a kid. Remove your fixute and coil the putty around the fixture where it enters the barrel. It will form a gasket that will stop the leak. It compress into a flat seal. It is used in most faucets and sink drains accross America.

I know just the thing for your leak. I've used it for such problems myself.
It's called FLEX SEAL. I don't know if it's available in stores, but the number to call to order it is 1-800-535-5053. Their website is www.getflexseal.com
It comes in a spray can, is easy to use, and has solved many problems for me.
