A sink stopper may be so tight that it stops water from draining. If adjusting the clevis screw doesn’t help, reset the pivot rod. You do this by squeezing the spring clip and freeing the pivot rod. Move the clip up to the next clevis hole; insert the rod. You may need to keep tweaking this a little to find the right hole on the clevis.
Water may leak or refuse to drain around a sink pop-up for a number of reasons. It may not sit tightly in the drain. If that’s the case, loosen the clevis screw with a wrench, push the stopper down, and retighten the clevis screw. When the drain is closed, the pivot rod should slope slightly uphill from the clevis to the tailpiece.
If water drips from around the pivot ball, tighten the retaining nut that holds the ball in place. You may also need to replace the gasket or washer (or both) inside the pivot-ball-and-rod assembly.
