Default Weeping elbow joint

The low pressure hot water pipe to the kitchen tap has a weeping elbow
joint in an awkward position at the bottom of the kitchen unit. *It is
a soldered joint and it takes about 2 days to fill a shallow drip
tray.

Is there any way to fix it without having to dismantle all the unit
around the sink?

Thanks

Can you cut out the elbow and then gently bend the pipe to get
clearance for connecting a flexible pushfit pipe repair section e.g.

Very easy and quick if you can get the clearance.
