Afternoon all
A real novice here that would be grateful of a bit of advice please...
In our loft we have an end cap bleed valve (?) on top of a vertical copper pipe. Up in the loft today and noticed that it is weeping water. I unscrewed slightly and then tightened it back up but it continues to weep. On close inspection, it would appear to have an intentional tiny hole in the cap, where the water is coming from, and seems to be pretty constant (after wiping away it's weeping again straight away).
Is this working as designed? Should the cap have the hole for a reason? Any way to stop the weeping? Should I even have to stop it?
I looks a bit like this, although cant tell if this one has a hole in the cap or not:

Thanks in advance,
