It's leaking where the flange meets the sink (the stainless steel part you can see when looking in the sink). Take it all apart, clean the flange lip & sink opening good, then seal it with silicone caulk. Put the flange part together & tighten the three screws. Leave it for 24hrs. then attach the disposal & drain parts. If this is not a new unit, check the upper housing for cracks, it's very common. You may have to remove the outer collar to see the upper housing.
