I am in the middle of fermenting a 6 gal Piesporter wine, I am at day 5 and the spigot on the fermenter was leaking a little so I tried to tighten it up and made it worse, so i quickly racked it to a carboy to save the rest of the wine, question is should I put the wine back in the fermenter to finish fermenting, or can I leave it in the carboy to finish fermenting, The SG is 1.021
 
Myself, I would leave it in the glass. Take the time and poxy resin that pour spout on you bucket.
 
Test the bucket with some water. Do not overtighten that spigot or it makes it leak. Sometimes I get a very small drip but I leave it alone and it stops itself.
