water weeping from joint
what should I do about drips from compression joint that goes into cold water tank?

The joint likely just needs to be taken apart and the seal remade or in some cases the compression fitting can be swapped out for a new one.
This would need to be disconnected after water supply is disconnected and emptied so that a new valve or PTFE take can be applied to seal threads l.
A plumber will isolate the water, then replace the compression joint making sure there is new olives fitted. Also it is a good idea to use ptfe tape.
tighten and check or refit the joint
