Hi,

Just put up a new radiator, a hulking great vertical thing that was a
bugger, mainly through being so heavy. Now I've just noticed that
there is a teensy leak where one of the tails goes into the rad. I
guess I didn't tighten it enough (it's got PTFE tape on it). The only
way to fix it would be to drain the rad, get it back off the wall and
take an allen key to it. It's dripping at the rate of about one drip
every two minutes (probably even slower). What are the chances of it
healing itself? Maybe I should encourage a little sludge build up!

Cheers,

Martin
Mine did this. My tails connect to a tap-like valve and when I tightened
the connection on this it turned the tail out of the radiator. Fix was to
loosen the connection to the valve, get a suitably thin wrench to tighten
the tail back up and then tighten the valve again whilst trying to hold the
tail still.

Hopefully that makes perfect sense.....
