I had a similar leak, caused by a botched installation when the house
was built.
Most the drain-shoe & overflow assemblies you buy at retail places
have slip fit tubes so they're easy to adjust. The "pros", however,
use cut & glue drains. The guy that did mine cut the tube to the
overflow about 1/2" short, and apparently didn't realize until after
it was glued. Instead of re-doing it, he just pulled it up to fit,
leaving it non-square to the drain. It never did seal properly. I
had to cut the thing out, fix the short tube, and reassemble.
As a quick check, you can unscrew the overflow cap and see if the
plumbing fits, or if someone did a similar hatchet job on yours.
