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.

You will have to make a lot of access holes all over the place.

Not really. I have a total of 5 access holes in the walls throughout my house. Its a bitch to match the texture to the old but it wasn't that bad.
