Just do the same and cap the rad. Then get on with sorting her grant out before next winter.
 
thanks but can u tell me is there a pressure guage on the back boiler as with a combi ? maybe because i removed rad pressure was built up to cause leak in downstairs rad?

No, it's just bad luck.

If one rad rusts throught then it is quite common for others to follow as the same contaminated water and corrosion is in the entire system.
