This is the valve showing where the leak is coming from.
I've tried tightening the packing nut, but it's still leaking.
Because what you think is a packing nut, might not be a packing nut. Often these contraptions have O rings that fail.
Ah, I did wonder about that. Is it possible to swap it out without draining the system?
And if so, are they a standard size, as I'd like to have a replacement ready before attempting it.
