The absolute quickest temporary way to fix a leaking copper water pipe without waiting for it to drain and dry completely is to install a stainless steel pipe repair clamp with a rubber gasket over the pinhole leak and tighten the bolts securely with a wrench. Alternatively, for dry lines, using push-to-connect fittings (such as SharkBite) allows you to cut out the leaking section and push a new connector on within minutes without soldering tools. Verification: Turn on the water supply and check the repair with a dry paper towel to confirm zero leaks.
