Well you will have to determine why it is leaking. It is just a loose fitting? try tightening it up with a wrench Is there a crack? Is the pipe white PVC (plastic) or copper or even gray metal? If it is any of these you will need to cut it out and replace that section. You might want to consider hiring a plumber.

What water pipe is likely to be sweaty the cold water or the hot water one?

The cold water pipe is more likely to get sweaty due to condensation forming on its surface when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cooler pipe. This is because cold surfaces are more efficient at causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water.

Which will corrode more quickly a pipe that carries hot water or one that carries cold water?

A pipe carrying hot water will generally corrode more quickly than one carrying cold water. The higher temperature of the hot water can accelerate the corrosion process by making the metal more reactive and causing it to deteriorate faster over time.


When turning on a hot water tap how much cold water is lost?

That depends upon the length and diameter of the pipe connecting to the hot water tank. Also, the greater the distance, the more hot/cold mixing will occur, resulting in even greater water loss. Most copper household plumbing pipe is 1/2" in diameter, and hot water pipes may range from 10' to 80', depending on angles and turns in the plumbing. An 80' pipe will hold about 2 gallons of water. This is water that was heated in the water heater, but upon setting in the pipe gave up all, or most, of its heat to its surroundings.


How does liquid nitrogen mand leaking pipes?

It doesn't mend the pipe. The pipe will still have a leak. However, you can use liquid nitrogen to freeze the water in a pipe and create a 'freeze block' which will prevent more liquid from getting to the leak. Once the freeze block is in place, it is much easier to repair the pipe leak.
