I fitted another radiator to the system at the weekend...soldered joints(2 x T's ,2 x straights and 2 x elbows...
Now the pressure is dropping on the Boiler, it can only be the result of my soldered joints....but I have checked and can see no visible leaks...
Is there an easy way to find out where it is leaking from?
Cheers....

also.....have you checked new rad valves for leaks? are all your bleed screws tight?
Click to expand...
Cant see any visible leaks on the valves and have put tissue round the pipe to see if there is any dampness - but nothing - stays dry..
Been round again and checked all of the bleed screws but all seem to be tight..
 
check tht the drain valve isn't passing they are prone to leaking if haven't been used for a long time
 
tight doesn't mean it is not weeping , put a plastic freezer bag over it with an elastic band and see if it gets water in overnight
