    Leaking bleed valve seams
    Three radiators in my flat are leaking in the same place: from what I think is the bleed valve at the top of each radiator. The leak is not coming through the bleed nut, but through what seems to be some sort of join. I've attached photos to show the leaks: you can see where the leak is causing discoloration. The leak is slow - a few drips a day - but enough to dampen the carpet and cause problems.
