Loctite. Bleed off pressure first.

disclaimer: you know this isn't the "proper" method :-)

Yeah, I know. Seeing as it is only a 'pinhole' leak, I thought I'd
check to see if there was a product certified for this purpose.
Sounds like there isn't. I'll give the loctite some consideration,
but will probably go with breaking it apart and putting in a union.

(Wonder what else they did?

Don't even get me started. My favorite was the 1/2" copper water line
which they bent - without benefit of a bender - about 20 degrees to
get it around something. It crimped considerably, and they wanted to
leave it like that, arguing that not only did it meet code, but it
also met the standards of 'good workmanship' which the contract
specified. I ended up cutting it out and repairing it myself, as I
refused to have the wall closed up with that in it. Or the standard
'duct tape' (which doesn't meet code, at least here) that they used
to tape up some HVAC duct work, and then when I protested treated me
like *I* was the idiot for not knowing that "That's what duct tape is
for - ducts!".

Thanks (everyone) for the recommendations,
