Leaking pipe - at join

Hi

I have noticed a leak in my water system. It is on the main cold water inflow pipe, a few feet after the stopcock, and it occurs at a joint between a pipe and a 'Limekiller' water softener. It looks to me as if the sealant where the two pipes meet is cracked or porous.

How can I fix this without calling out a plumber?

Many thanks

GVB
