Wait. You can't turn the water off? That's done at the shutoff that should be easy to get to and have a nice knob/lever thing on it. If you don't have that, you need to turn the water off elsewhere before you can take the pipes off.

There is another valve but the faucet lever is leaking so when I close the water, it doesn't close all the way.

You may have to close both water shutoffs before you unscrew any pipes behind them.

This doesn't have a shut off valve.

We don't SEE a shutoff valve.

But regardless, before anyone uses a wrench on anything we do see, the water needs to be shutoff.

Well yes likely the whole unit will need to be shut off. It's best practice to shut off the main. I've had two stubouts break off in the wall while trying to shut off valves in the last two years.
