Leaking radiator valve heavily at times but then stops
Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2021 3:55 am
Ok bare with me total novice..
Water leaking heavily at times, does stop though? From the valve that alters the temperature in picture.
Have closed valve other side, and water continues to leak with heating off or on and with this thermostat to off or on. So basically isolated I think and off.
The water seems to be coming up the central hole of valve spindle in last pic...
Any direction as to how to hault without calling a plumber and draining whole system hugely welcomed.
Radiator is based in kitchen next to a combi boiler, pressure is currently zero, I assumed this may help.
And can I safely run the heating and hot water with the above current state until fixed, thanks to anyone in advance who assists....

PS On a separate note should I be concerned about rust points on rad externally on certain joints
