Hey Wind!
I only know of 2 possibilities. 1. Take apart the pipe and redo. 2. Just try to dry up the leak, did some PVC glue around the joint pretty thick and cross your fingers. |

I have let the water out of the pipes and smeared 5 minute Epoxy around the leaky joint. Works pretty good but turns the epoxy yellow after awhile.You have to do this with n water in the pipe at all so there is no water bubbles in your glue joint. Hope this helps.
