Hi
I wonder if someone can help, the pressure in my boiler keeps dropping and I am having to keep adding water to it to bring it up to 1.5, I have discovered that I have a leak on one of my radiators so this seems like a good explanation. I have done loads of reading this morning but most of the leaks that I have read about are at the bottom of the radiator, but the leak I have is from the nut on the top left, opposite to the side where I would bleed it, it also only leaks when the radiator is cold.
I am guessing, from what I have read that I would turn both the bottom nuts clockwise to isolate the radiator, then loosen the top nut add some PTFE and do the nut back up. Does this sound correct, or is there a different procedure with it leaking from the top? Should this be done when the system is cold?
Also, anyone know why it only leaks when cold?
Many thanks for your help
