    Anything one would inject

    I would take as a temporary fix... but will admit to having temporary fixes still in place 25 years later....:)

    Can the leak be identified for size and location for a proper (brazed) repair?

    Anyway, here is a line of products you might consider:

    Brad's right on

    I've had good luck with the silver king safe, especially on near-boiler and exposed piping. Seems to be permanent (so far anyway). Under the floor I would never guarantee any kind of stop leak, although it might work. I farm out leak detection to guys with fancy equipment, including the killer; infra-red imaging. Identifies the piping lay-out, leaks, etc. I don't change my oil anymore either. Good luck.
