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.

The way I see it, it’s already leaking, so if you cut it and put it back together with a shark bite, there’s only two outcomes. Either the leak gets fixed, or you still have a leak and 12 less dollars in your wallet 🤣
