My toilet supply line is dripping, I can’t get it to stop. I had a dripping packing nut when the line was attached to the toilet, but since it was leaking in three places, I turned off the water and detached the supply line. As I was saying, now it’s just dripping out of the supply line into a watering can.
I have the pros coming in 10 days to replace my toilet and the shut off valve (old and likely the cause of this!anything I can do to keep me sane? I’ve tried the penetrating oil on the pack nut.

Here's a trick: purchase a new shut off valve (it looks like a 1/2 inch size supply line). Remove the supply hose and wrap Teflon tape around the threads.
Install the new valve onto the old one. You should get a new supply hose (1/2 inch x 7/8 inch). Connect it to the new valve and the toilet valve.
