I was recommended this stuff today just not sure it was definitely this version of it as I did quick google search and this is what came up -

Just need to double check it is fish safe as I may have got the wrong version here?

I think I may still have the tube of the stuff I used in the garage so will double check it for you tomorrow to make sure it's the same stuff I put the link up for OK.

If its been on there a while the pipe seems to go quite rigid, if you warm it up with some boiling water or something and then tighten it up it will probably clamp down and seal again.
May be worth a try

Sorry Carlo, just got round to checking to see if that is the same stuff I used but it seems like I must have chucked it out as part of the clear out last year as the stuff was out of date, must have been 5 years ago I bought it
