Pin Holes on Copper Pipes
#2
If it’s just a hole here and there, JB WaterWeld will seal it. I apply the WaterWeld putty all the way around the pipe (after sanding the corrosion off), then for good measure carefully tighten a stainless steel hose clamp around the putty and pipe. It provides a more long term repair.

If it’s a larger hole and leak, you can apply the putty, then a one inch section of garden hose (or similar) cut open the long way so it can be slipped over the copper pipe. Apply the putty around the pipe, carefully place the hose over the putty, and fasten in place with a hose clamp.
