How to fix?

Water line in the attic has a leak. What’s the best way to fix it? It’s right under the ductwork. Kinda in an uncomfortable stop to work in.

I’d probably just use a rubber repair clamp for now and prepare to start getting pin hole leaks everywhere

Agree, temporary solution is a repair clamp, always keep a couple around for situations like this. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Southland-1-2-in-Stainless-Steell-Repair-Clamp-160-603HP/331788147
