I know this is a bit off the wall, especially for a shop talk group, but
I know there is a lot of knowledge out there, and hoped someone might
have a solution.

I am working on a base board hot water heating system that is currently
in my Mom's house of 40+ years.  The basement feed and return copper
pipes are set in the concrete slab and protrude from the floor to supply
the radiators with hot water, then go back into the slab to the next
radiator.  Problem is,after 40+ years, one of the pipes in the floor has
started leaking.  To replace the pipe is going to be a nightmare as to do
it right means tearing into walls and ceiling.  Anyone know of a magic
cure for sealing the pipe leak without damaging the furnace?  I know it's
a long shot, but if it saves the trouble of replacing the pipe, I'm
willing to listen!!

Thanks
