Are the pin leaks coming from the copper fittings? When joining the copper to plastic, use a good wrap of teflon tape to help seal. As far as the pin leaks, it's tough to sweat fittings on a closed system, the solder doesn't want to completely go into the fitting,. Shut off the water @ the main, drain the system, ball up a piece of bread and shove up the pipe to block any trickling of water, open up closest faucet and sweat new fitting/pipe. Hope this helps, I spent an hour trying to sweat on a hose bib til I had the brighty idea of opening the valve. I know the feeling.
