Hi all

I have replaced some pipework, and have plumbed three copper pipes in to a compression tee. Once I turned the water back on, there wasn’t any leak for half an hour, and then I noticed a very very small bit of water dripping on to some toilet paper beneath the joint.

The pipes had alot of condensation throughout, although the tee is the only place with a very small water drip. This morning, there is no sign of any water leak, could the cause of this be condensation?

I’m guessing if there is a leak, there would be a constant leak?

Many thanks
 
Scratches in the pipe could cause a leak.
If it's dry after a few days then its fine.
I've known what I thought was a leak to stop after 24h which makes me wonder if it was a leak
