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

Wrap some plumbers mait around the joint? Only a temporary repair mind you.

Turn off the hot water supply and drain the system as much as possible
and open the tap to release any pressure . Dry the joint and clean
with degreaser. Smear quick setting araldite around it and wait a
couple of hours. turn water back on.

Or

I've never tried this stuff but it may work
