Is there a simple way to patch this by cutting out the bad spot and
using
pressure fittings or something similar? I don't want to try soldering
in
that confined space. Any suggestions?


If you don't want to solder it, get someone that can. Given the
location, there is no 100% perfect way to repair a tube in that location
that you can be completely comfortable with. Cut the tubing right at the
hole, sweat in a coupling and be done and be confident it will not leak
like a patch could while you are away on vacation.


Agreed. Why keep looking and wondering.....



But, then, the guy has spent years and years and spots and spots. Why fix
it right now?
