I found that the copper plumbing on the cold water side had pinhole leaks all through the house. Best to replace the whole pipe than to patch.
Yep, eventually we are going to replace the whole thing, but we want to do it in the summer when it's a little warmer and we don't have to deal with the rain and snow. This is only temporary to get through the winter.
