This will be the one that leaks. Like the previous poster said " you
know what you have to do, right" .

So, what you are telling me is that
1) Leaks happen and sometimes are inexplicable
2) It has to be taken apart and resoldered now.
Do I understand you?


If you can remove the water from that joint, sand the joint where the
drip was. Put a dab of flux on it. Heat it lightly and put a drop of
solder on. That will most likely take care of it.
If the leak is that small it will probably clog with mineral deposits
in a few days.
Of course, you being anal and all, you know you are going to take it
apart and do it right, the way it should have been done in the first
place.
Use clean flux and a new/er flux brush. Use a good torch. Not some old
thing thats been laying around for 20 years. The turbo torch line is
pretty awesome and not all that expensive.
A clean joint is a happy joint.
