Depending on what kind of leak you have, sometimes ferncos will fix pipe leaks but if its a fitting leak and on a nohub fitting then just replace the nohub bands and fittings but if its on a lead bell/spigot fitting then you most likely will have to change the whole fitting or fittings if they are close connected and change the to PVC or abs fittings and make sure you have supports if you are changing any vertical lines.

Clay has a bell part, attach below the bell a FERNCO rubber boot type fitting which is the diameter of the clay pipe. It will go from PVC pipe to the clay pipe.

For inserting a spigot end into a bell ,, there are some good epoxys made for this purpose.. Use PVC it's easier to work with.. For the other side, I'd personally just avoid the bell and cut it off with a circular saw with a masonary blade than use epoxys. Check with your local inspection people .. They should be able to give some good advice..
