As a retired plumber i can tell you that there is no easy fix for that unless it can be cut off elsewhere

Sorry just noticed that it is a elbow it looked like a shadow. Cut the pipe in a good straight round section and use a cap , nipple and kinco nut on the side the water feeds from

No fitting you buy will work due to the soldered joints so close to the end of the existing tube. Of course we cannot see where the tube goes along the floor ( or is that a wall ?)so if it can be pulled up slightly (without breaking it again) you could cut it, squash it together then bend it back on itself and use 2 hammers to flatten it to stop the leak, or even fit a tap to it, but as you say you are useless so don't try it. Just get a plumber with oxy and being Sunday it will probably cost you a bit considering the cost of oxy acetylene gas and bottle hire these days.

Get a tradesman to do the job and have a clear conscience after you move out.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
I will get a plumber then and i'm sure will fix along the lines of the methods suggested. Obviously it can't just be patched up as I thought. Luckily i'm not living there so can leave water off until it's fixed |

I would grind it and cut it to interstellar space and use those bunnings press fit smartex fittings. No way i would pay some millenial over encouraged kid who reckons he is worth 500 bucks a day to fix it...but thats just me...hell I would replumb and trench 500m rather than pay someone else.
