Should I repair this line?
this photo is my domestic hot water line from the boiler. There is a small amount of green corrosion on the pipe. Should I replace it?

Tough call ... could be nothing ... could be a pinhole in the elbow.
Whatever you do, DON'T pick at it! It'll never heal !
By 'nothing' I mean that it could just be where some flux ended up on the pipe during soldering...
if it's a pinhole (which it looks like it might be ...) it may go for a long time without getting worse, or it may start peeing at any time ...
Would I ? maybe ... should you ? ... maybe ...
I should run for office. Talk about non-commital flip-flop double talk !
