Hi all,
I've just noticed an extremely slow drip coming from the kitchen radiator. It's not leaking from any of the valves or bleed valves or anything but down the rear of the radiator, part way along like I've arrowed...
(stock photo BTW, not my rad)
This just happens to be exactly in line with where the brackets are welded to the back of the rad. Is this a common fault? Is there some way I can repair this leak with an additive or something? It was probably dripping once an hour it is that slow. I just added some pressure at the filling loop and now it drips maybe once every 20 mins!
If it needs replacing, anyone know what brand it is? I would like to see what sort of guarantee it had, it's just under 9 years old and it's never been off the wall since fitted, so it's not like I've damaged it since. Here's the logo on the side panel...
Any ideas or advice welcome.
Cheers
