Solar manifold leak

[Steve_K]

My solar panel has a drip at the manifold, where one small tube connects to the main pipe. The panels are made by Aquatherm and are a webbed assembly, i.e. the small tubes are all joined together by thin plastic.
I'm thinking the best solution is to remove the problem tube, then plug the hole left in the main pipe. But, I'm not sure how to plug the hole, which looks like ABS.
Any suggestions?

Yep, you cut the damaged tube at the manifold then plug it top and bottom. Solar pool supply is in lakeside and sells the kits or Amazon
