I believe I have a leak in the lead bend of my toilet. Fortunately,

I think it has a small hole or cracked somwhere past the toilet
flange. I have to remove more of the ceiling in the basement to see.
Are there any ways to seal a lead bend leak? Epoxy or J-weld?

If it's a pinhole, you could put a self tapping screw in. (A short one
that doesn't project into the pipe & snag you paper!) Doesn't work on
a crack.

Screws don't come in lead, and dissimilar metals in the presence of
water is guaranteed to corrode.
