How can I fix a cracked copper pipe?
If it is leaking at a fitting, it is either a bad flare or it isn't tight enough. Gas or flare fittings should be put together dry, Do no use pipe dope because this can cause a leak between the mating surfaces. If it is in the line itself, either replace the line or cut it, flare the ends and put a fitting in.
What is flare copper pipe?
When soft copper tubing is used the end is flared so that it can seal against the fittings. A flaring tool is used to spread the end of the tubing so that it looks like a small funnel. When you tighten the nut onto a fitting it compresses the copper against the flare on the fitting and makes a seal. It is a dry seal, no pipe dope should be used on a flare fitting. This is almost always on a gas line of some sort, air, natural gas, propane or some other gas. It can be used for liquids, but generally isn't.
Can you use Compression fitting on a brake line?

Is it safe to use copper and galvanized pipes on the same fitting?
No, you cannot join copper and galvy directly. A brass fitting needs to be between the two to prevent electrolysis. You could also use a special type of union that has a gasket between the two halves. It is called a Dielectric union. If this junction is between pipes on your water heater and the cold water supply line, you could use a fitting made for that that also is a back flow preventer (ie a check valve).
