I'm not aware of any shortcuts on this one. If it's leaking in more then one spot then you may have done something wrong in the process. You might want to revisit your techniques and procedures to make sure that you're on the right track.

A wery slow drip can cause a lot of damage. It's best to fix it right. PVC is cheap.

Sure you can try to seal it from the outside, but I personally wouldn't trust it. Are you positive you didn't miss a couple connections when you were gluing? It can happen...

I'd suggest weighing the correct choice here against the "make do" choice. What are the consequences if the "make do" repair fails?

Good luck,
