Your location says Marietta. Pin holes are common around here, & unfortunately, if you have 1, you probably have more. Probably going to need a whole house repipe at some point. Look at any exposed pipe, & where there is teal discoloration on the outside, there is a pinhole working through on the inside.

Crud. Yeah I'm in Marietta and I've got plenty of those

What are we talking cost wise for a repipe?

It won’t be cheap to have someone else do it. It will include Sheetrock cutting and repairing

That guy on here always wants plumbing work maybe he could help?

I would replace the pipe as soon as you can.

A couple of years ago, we paid about 5k for pex. 3 full baths, kitchen with fridge hook up, 2 exterior spigots. I forget if that included the new water heater or if that was additional.

ETA: Also included the drywall repair.

Flex seal tape.LoL. You could replace that segment of pipe and then use compression fittings or what they call shark bite fittings. If you a torch, Flux and solder you could cut out a inch or two and solder in a fitting made especially for that type of r we pair. Myself I would start replacing long stretches of old pipe for new if you have a solder repair supplies. That should be a staple in any well rounded tool box.
