Galvanized iron pipes tend to swell and seal themselves if it is a very small leak. As far as taking it apart, if it doesn't seal itself use two pipe wrenches. If you can't put enough force on the wrenches to get the pipes apart, use a piece of pipe as a handle extension to give you a mechanical advantage of leverage.
