Due to paranoia, this was one of the first things I did to my car; I bought the kit from mercedesource.com, which uses a copper pipe and plumber's epoxy (really, really strong, waterproof stuff available at Lowe's or Home Depot). A guy told me that they used to use this stuff by the gallon pail repairing oil pipelines!
