Found a leak in a fridge line that took me 2 hours to trace

It was a pinhole in the copper behind the compressor on a 5 year old Samsung, and I ended up just patching it with epoxy instead of replacing the whole line - has anyone else had luck with epoxy holding long term?

epoxy is a temp fix at best, that copper needs a proper braze.

Yeah epoxy on copper is basically just asking for it to leak again later. I mean it might hold for a little while but you're just kicking the can down the road. Proper braze is the only way that joint actually lasts.
