1. Locate the source of the leak. Shut off the water supply to the leaking pipe and identify the source.
2. Inspect the area for any other signs of damage.
3. With the help of a plumbing toolkit, check for loose connections or fittings in the pipe.
4. If you find any, tighten the connections and retest the pipe for leaks.
5. If the leak persists, turn off the water supply. You may need to replace the old or damaged part.
6. If you can’t isolate the source of the leak, consider calling a professional plumber.
