Shutoff Valve Drip

[supersales5]

Hello all, I have a shutoff value that has some condensation towards the bottom. The water droplet just sits there.

Any ideas on how to fix?

cut it out and replace with a new one

If it is a shutoff valve, and it is actually condensation, you may not be able to. If it is weepage, you can replace the valve.

I blew the photo up. Leak. The leakage is in the exact same spot because it has built up a lot of scale. Condensation would be more spread out than a pinhole leak. Fix it before it suddenly becomes a flood one day.

Years ago, it wasn't that uncommon to get a cast brass fitting with a pinhole from the factory.
Probably just found its way through a weak spot in the casting.
