Default Easy minor water leak repair?

Sometimes you have a small connection leak in a water system that you do
not have to time to properly repair right now - teflon tape on threads,
replace connector, whatever.

For example, I've been pestered with these problems in the water feed to
my evaporative cooler the past few days but have other urgent more
important problems to take care of. Fix one of those 'little' problems
and a related one soon arises. You know how often the 'simple' little
problems one starts on multiply and end up taking many hours you really
don't have to spare. Trip to store, searching for that special tool,
added related problems, accidents during repair that cause new problems,
etc.

To get to my question - is there a spray or tape product that one can use
to quickly temporarily fix such problems until you have the time to deal
with them properly?

TIA

If you don't have time to fix it correctly, when will you have time
to do it over? That said... yeah, hose clamps with rubber from an
old innertube... slip couplings ... hacksaw or sawsall with a metal
cutting blade and various plugs, caps, tees, ells, pieces and sizes of
pipe... think rent house standards.
