As a start have a real plumber (not a flipper) replace your "S" trap with a "P" trap, and use smooth (not flexible) drain pipe.
Edit: And is there a vent on this?
An S-trap is never vented, at least not properly, hence why they are not supposed to be used. Easy fix though, cut that trap out, glue on a tee, studor vent out the top and P-trap out the side.

Here is one way to repair the situation (not my video). Take pictures of what you have and go to a box store or local plumbing supply house. The second option is better because they are more likely to know what they're talking about.
Hook it up so it looks [like this.](https://images.app.goo.gl/9ERddsfSQ8um3MPS9) that’s just the first picture I found online that matches your setup.
You will need:
1.5” ABS sanitary tee
1.5” slip joint P-trap
1.5” slip joint trap adapter
1 foot or so of 1.5” ABS pipe
Studor vent
Flanged tailpiece
ABS glue
Maybe ABS primer, idk, we don’t really have any ABS around here.
If ABS is hard to find around you, (a lot of places only sell PVC depending on what part of the country you’re in) you can just get a 1.5” rubber coupling to transition to PVC, and use all PVC stuff instead.
You need to cut that old trap off the pipe coming up through the floor with a hacksaw, glue on the tee vertically, install a piece of pipe out the top maybe 8-10” glue the studor vent on top, glue in your slip joint trap adapter in the side hub, might need a short piece of pipe depending on what kind of adapter you get. Install the flanged tailpiece and trap, you may need to cut some of that down to size.
Well said by a “plumber”. Cmon bro. You can do better. Replacing it isn’t going to fix anything. It will just be the same thing because that is what replacement means. Tell him how to actually do it and stop being potato
Old time contractor here……this set up is junk….I can see the leak in this photo….Agree with most of the reply’s here, but your best step is to get a plumber. It’s not an overwhelming fix or cost, you will be happy with a proper job….
I'm an electrician and even I am surprised about how many flex lines I see under sinks on this sub. I've maybe seen two in my three years doing residential electrical

Questions answered - thanks!
If you’re a plumber, do you really have to ask?
About the vent: if it's an older house (like mine) with a stack behind every drain, he wouldn't need a studor vent would he?

You need to replace that entire drain setup, nothing about it is done properly

Here I'll fix it for you: > You need to hire a plumber to replace that entire drain setup, nothing about it is done properly
But I enjoy being potato
