Can you get to the mains stopcock easily? Is there any space behind these
units to run a poly pipe behind them?

You say you're moving out of the house and are going to leave the leak for
someone else to fix, so why not leave it leaking and say nowt about it like
you didn't notice? Or go out and buy the bit you need to do the job
properly, or pay a plumber to do it, and leave the house to the new owner
with your conscience clean.

You may have a long wait... IIRC it does not set as such (at least not
quickly), but once it is amalgamated round the leak it should be water
tight even if still soft.
