was rebalancing my radiators by adjusting the lockshield valve. This seemed to work, however, unfortunately I now have a small leak coming from the hole in the lockshield value (where I inserted the allen key). It looks like the water is coming from the side, then pooling in the hole before overflowing. The leak is quite slow, but needs to be fixed.
Am I correct in thinking I can try tightening the packing nut (and if so if this is the hexagonal nut around the outside) and that this can be done without draining the system or doing anything else?
The valves are Fairport Angled Traditional Thermostatic RadiatorValves - Chrome purchased from Victoria Plumbing . They don't seem to offer this type anymore though it looks like they're https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk...d410f-1034-4f91-89ac-8b0d2e732a77-9DAF9:en-GB these but under a different name.
Thanks in advance
