There has been some other questionable previous home owner handy work done on the house. |

| The answer to your question depends on why it was leaking in the 1st place. If it was leaking at a joint, it was probably just a poorly, I would just close things up and not worry about it. On the other hand, if the pipe itself failed (through some type of corrosion) it's probably prudent to replace the rest of it. |

Crownsville, MD | The plumber thought that it was just warn thru because of the age of the plumbing. No joints where the leak was found, just a crack type, down the center of pipe. |

That means it's old enough to warrant replacement. If you have the money and time I would replace that run just to avoid having to open the ceiling up again. |
