Then, how do you fix a leaky refrigerator water line?

Tighten the nut that connects the copper supply line to the back of the refrigerator. If this does not stop the leak, you will have to replace the brass ferrule underneath the nut. Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator and place an adjustable wrench on the union of the refrigerator's water inlet tube.

Furthermore, how do you fix a pinhole in a plastic water line? Tape It. With a drain line that doesn't carry pressurized water, you can fix a leak by taping the hole with plastic tape. Eventually, you should permanently repair the hole, but a tape job will last for days -- if not weeks -- as a temporary repair.
