how to repair pin hole copper pipe leake?

If you are using well water have the water tested. You may need to condition the water to avoid additional leaks. Pin holes indicate thinning of the pipe wall throughout the system.

>pushfit connector

as stated fit a new section of copper pipe
pushfit - don't want no d.i.y bodges where they can't be seen
and are known to blow off later on.

hi all u need is a straight pushfit connector 15" depending on pipe size....cut the pipe where the hole is and put the connector on one side and push the other side of the pipe in...easy.

You can buy a repairing clamp,similar to the clamp on washing machine tap, but without the tap, but as "t" said, best to replace the piece of pipe if you can !

Solder over the hole

A pin hole usually means corrosion and so it would be best to replace the whole pipe. However one can get kits for taping them up from DIY stores.
