If you find another leak at a solder seam, best to re-solder the whole seam rather than just th crack. Solder does form hair-line cracks that grow over time. If you only solder the leaky part, but the crack extends further, it will grow and leak again eventually. Might be good to use traditional 50/50 solder rather than the modern "safe" no-lead plumbing solder, which is more brittle.
