Dean,
In addition to what Jon said. That joint connects the compressor to the reservoir above it. A new compressor will come with the reservoir, already attached. Which is my way of saying that is not a joint that I would try to fix because the heat from the torch is going right into the compressor. You will have to go to all the steps Jon outlined. I would spend the money for a new compressor since the steps are the same and the outcome will be less risky. Cause it will be a tricky fix, and if it fails, you have to do all those steps TWICE and still buy a new compressor.
Just my opinion.
