Stop Cap for T junction

Hi all, please see attached photo of a small leak I have at the back of the washing machine.(Red Box indicates exactly where the leak is). I do plan to just try tighten the nut but as you can see its fairly old. I've also realised that I have no more need for the red (hot water pipe) I was therefore planning to get a stop…

Hi all,
please see attached photo of a small leak I have at the back of the washing machine.(Red Box indicates exactly where the leak is).
I do plan to just try tighten the nut but as you can see its fairly old.
I've also realised that I have no more need for the red (hot water pipe)
I was therefore planning to get a stop cap for the right hand side of the T junction.
I tested a few stop taps on a t junction in a store but the stop tap(3/4 inch) is just a tiny bit too small to fit the junction.
Is there a different type of Stop cap that I need to fit this junction ?
Thx,
R

1/2" blank cap would blank off the T

But that's the best bit of pipe that's in the photo.
You need to replace all the pipe's & fittings.
NOT a big job
