joint
This may be a repeat since it is too laborious to read all the previous postings, but you CANNOT resolder a leaking joint, not because it has calcium in it, but because ANY leak will contaminate a joint, even if it is only a few minutes old. You have to cut and/or disassemble at least some section, and maybe the entire manifold, to clean, flux, and repair the leak.
