Your waste pipe shouldn't be porous (for obvious reasons), you may have a crack but if you have a leak(no pun intended) it may also be a joint problem.

Hey Hector,there are not to many metal sewage pipes around these days,they are usually PVC pipes,they are not porous but they can crack and they do have a lot of give in them..the smell should give you a pretty good idea if it is leaking,,then again,maybe a pack of dogs are using your wall for a meeting place..All the best mate...

Hector5559 check this out bye ....

You may have a plumbing leak if:

• You can hear the continuous sound of water (like a toilet running) when nothing is turned on.


• Your water meter reading changes when you aren’t using any water. (Mark the indicator on your meter; don’t use any water for an hour; then check the meter. If the indicator moved, you may have a leak.)


• Your water bill escalates over a period of weeks or months. (Compare your bills month to month.)


• Your walls or floors have wet, spongy, moist or discolored areas when nothing has been spilled.


• You can smell foul odors coming from floors or walls near drains or sewers.


• Your building foundation cracks, vegetation grows unevenly, or earth shifts for no apparent reason.


• You find warm spots on your floor, particularly on concrete slab floors. "
