Ah okay. Is the copper line a continuous line? I'm guessing it probably is. If whoever installed it just used a kit it probably has a saddle valve, those things are crap.

The easiest thing to do is just replace the hose. They sell them for cheap at any home store. Then wait for it to happen again. But here's plenty of refrigerators out there with the same setup, so it is what it is.

Probably the next best thing is to put a tee in the copper line with a pex hookup and then run a pex line up to the floor with the refrigerator. Install a shutoff valve at the end of that line and then run a braided line to the fridge. It wood look very similar to what runs to your toilet except it runs to your fridge.
