I found the leak,it is from a approx. 3/8 copper tube that feeds the hot water into the mixer,how hard woud it be to repair this?the leak is where the tube connects to the mixer

You have two options, (1) you can dry everything off both out and in and resolder the joint **or** (2) you can purchase Fis Stix, shut off the pressure and epoxy the leak. I recommend door number two. To check it out click on;
