Drips from pipe under kitchen sink

Hi
Late this evening we spotted that there's water dripping from one of the copper pipes underneath the kitchen sink and we have had to place a bucket underneath to catch the water. The drips at the moment are not fast and if it stays at this rate, it will be fine to leave the bucket there overnight.
I am hoping this is simply a matter of tightening a bolt or new washer but I would really appreciate some advice.
I can't workout how to attach an image to this post, so I would really appreciate if someone could PM me and I will try and send some images that way.
Thanks
MH

Bear in mind that the water may be running down or along the pipe & THEN dripping.......0 -
If it is one of the compression fittings you may not have to renew it, First try to reseal with Ptfe tape.
Turn the water off first.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
