Green rust on radiator pipe..pls advise

[SIDD]

Hello,

Recently noticed a bit green dripping under one of the copper radiator pipes in the bathroom radiator grill.

The joint is not wet to touch and there is no constant drip as yet..!! I did not try to scrape in case I spring a leak causing chaos..!!

Please look at the photos and advise me if I should get this fixed asap..!!!

I think the simple answer is yes, looking at that pipe it isn't going to be long before it starts leaking, it needs cutting out & replacing

Hmm hope your copper pipe underground is wrapped properly, all looks a bit poor there.

Gawd, that looks manky. Are you insured for complete replacement of all rotten old pipework installed by a plumber who didn't wipe off the flux after finishing the joints?

What a mess I would have all that replaced immediately
