I have a leak, in two places underneath a newly installed sink.

Obviously I'll get the plumber back in, but in the meantime, should I tighten or loosen any of these parts?

Leaks are at the two red arrows.

Looks like the bottom one is cross threaded because the down pipe in the background may be too long, hence putting the trap on an angle. If it's fixed at the bottom, I would make sure your plumber shortens it slightly when you get him back.

Yep I think this is at the heart of it. Pipe forces the whole thing to be -very slightly- at an angle
