Did they space walk to fix the leak?

Russian cosmonaut Sergey Prokopyev used a small piece of medical gauze soaked in epoxy, a type of resin used as a sealant.

This makes the remedy sound "on the fly". They must have something at the ready for a case like this, you'd think.

You would think they'd have repair capabilities readily available. But I know more than what the article states.
