Dripping Pressure Side Leak

I have a small drip leak where the coupler meets the Space Saver Jandy Valve. It’s a small leak (1-2 drops/minute)

I added pictures for reference and circled the area that is leaking

I do not have much space (hence why the space saver Jandy valve was used)

How do I fix this?

I’m afraid to replumb since the plumbing is soo low to the ground already. If I were to replumb, where would u recommend to make the cuts to start/end the replumb?

Ugh. That stinks, on the pressure side too. Well, for now I might just wait and watch the drip amount. See if you can squeeze through this season. If so, that gives you plenty of time to consider re-plumbing options as I suspect you would have to dig down a bit to get good access to the lines in the ground, then cut back the line before the valve. That would be the ideal repair. External repairs don't normally do well simply because water is pushing "out" with a good amount of force. But if you elected to try and hard epoxy as a last resort and let it cure for 24 hrs, you might get lucky.

As with any pressure side leaks, watch them closely though because if it was to rupture, it will do it fast and you'll lose a lot of water, not to mention possibly run the pump dry.
