I've got a pin hole leak in a copper pipe on my hot water heat sytem.

Murphy is my partner. So, of course, the leak is right where the pipe
goes through the floor and you can't get at it. A proper repair is
going to mean removing the radiator above, cutting out a whole section
of pipe and replacing.

To avoid this job, does anyone suggest some sort of goo to just apply
to the surface of the pipe? Other easy fix?

I've repaired pinhole leaks with a piece of inner tube and a band clamp
but that's not going to work in your situation. If it were me I'd bite
the bullet and call a plumber. You'll be out a hundred bucks, it'll make
him happy, and you can get on with your life without the stress.
