Yes, he is telling you the truth. If there is no extended coverage for leaking pipes or faucets then they will not come out, there would be no reason to do so.
Someone needs to hire a plumber. Most leaky sinks are easy fixes.
There is no reason for an insurance company to investigate a loss that it already knows is not a covered peril.
Many home insurance policies ( Especially Tenant occupied ) Dwelling policies do not cover damage or losses from old or leaky Plumbing resulting from normal wear and tear. That's a maintenance issue not an Insurance issue.
Also the owners policy would generally not pay for property loss of another. That's what Renters Insurance is for.
Many landlords are now beginning to "require" that tenants purchase renters insurance in the lease terms in order to avoid just these types of tenant issues.

If there is something wrong with your apartment, most state's laws allow you to withhold your rent, and write the landlord a letter stating what the problem is, and that the rent will be withheld until it is fixed.
