Saddle valves are leak prone depending on the age and the installation. If your valve is leaking sometimes tightening will solve the problem. If you must have a new one and the old one is not leaking... I would suggest just to leave the old one and install a new one near the old one as disconnecting, cleaning (the pipe) and assuring that your aim is good in aligning the new valve to use the existing perforation of the old valve is difficult, and requires turning off the water supply. Installing a new saddle valve is quite simpler and the water may remain on.
