If it's the nut attatched to the copper then you can't isolate it.
If it's the one attatched to the radiator then turn the valves off. You won't stop the leak but it'll only be the rad that's leaking.0 -

As i said, try pinching it up with a pair of grips or an adjustable spanner. If this doesn't work it will need repairing properly.
If it's trickling out, if you've some silicon or sealant, try putting that some around the nut as a (very) temporary measure. Although it's a long shot.0 -

Park it mate. I've told her what to do in the first couple of posts. The silicon remark was because she was sounded desperate. I didn't say it would fix anything just stem the flow so she can have some hot water.silicone sealant will not stick to water.....you sound like someone whos just completed his 6129 technical certificate in plumbing
