Hi @ping1972,

Thank you for your question about sealing the connection from your downpipes to your water tank and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you join us.

I'm not 100% sure what the best way to address this issue would be from the photos you've shown.

Is it possible to get a wider photo of the connection from your downpipes to the rainwater tank? It's hard to tell what they've used for this connection.

You may have some success using an external silicone such as this Parfix 300g Clear Roof Gutter Silicone if you can find the exact location of the leak, but it's difficult to say.

Once you've uploaded some additional images, I'd be happy to offer further assistance.
