Cleaning up some of the leftover debris from last week's plumbing repairs and chopped out a ~3 foot section of pipe around the leaking section just to see how bad looked. I could barely see down the length of the pipe due to all the mineral/rust build up! Surprised that a) there was any flow at all through the ~25 foot stretch that I wound up replacing and b) it hadn't started leaking before this. Well, at least I shouldn't have to worry about this particular stretch for another couple decades.

There were a couple of spots that were rusted and leaking in a drip, drip sort of way. This section was the only one that was actually spraying water out a pinhole leak.
This run has been there at least since I moved in in ‘76 and I’d actually been planning to replace it last year but I didn’t get to it before the virus hit. After that I didn’t want contractors coming in unless it were serious. This section is all outside along a cinderblock wall from the house to the pool area in back so a few drips here and there weren’t a problem in and of themselves. The leak in this section was another matter however.
