Are Fernco couplings rated for pressure? A quick look @ their site shows DWV use. 

Peace,

If the leak is below the 1/2 break out tween where the 3/4" pipe connects to the 
other 3/4" pipe, why not try something like a Fernco coupling.  They make all 
different sizes.  The only problem is you'll have to cut the short copper pipe to
slide the Frenco coupling over each end of the leak.
