Used to be a plumber. Good info from the above member.
You've gotta clean the paint off, use sand paper, that's your best bet. I suspect the reason it's leaking is because of the paint. Sand the heck out of it until it's solid white.
Get some primer and christies red hot (blue glue)
First primer the pipe and fittings. Be generous with the glue, and cover the fitting and pipe. Insert pipe and hold together for 30 seconds before releasing (because it will want to slide out). You've gotta work fast cause the glue sets quick.
Cut out that coupling and now you'll need two. You don't want to leave it because that slow leak will one day be a gusher.
Good luck, you'll be fine.
