    To seal a crack from the inside you would have to pour a sealant down that would harden up inside the pipes. I know of no product that would do that without building up on the pipe walls. You go at leaks from the outside and not the other way around. Having said that,auto radiator "Stop Leak" comes to mind. While it's not recommended for plumbing leaks it may be worth a try. If noit then take out a square of ceiling and locate the leak it may be as simple as wrapping some pipe repair tape around the joint. Let me know how you make out. Good luck, Tom
