Just wrong. Use jelly, then it's "PB & J".

That was my point about any type of plumbing system.

When talking about PB or any plumbing "leaks" it might be a good idea to differentiate between, weep, drip, leak and flooding type of leaks.

Some PB is known to flood.

If the PB was installed after about 1990 with the updated crimp rings AND on a private well system it does not have the issues as PB is known for.
In this particular case I still report it but leave the client with the decision on whether or not to call a plumber.
