I have 12 Rads on my oil system.,,7 downstairs and 5 upstairs.
I have to bleed 1 radiator upstairs daily and another every few days , also 1 rad downstairs every few days, The rest are fine.
Have I a leak under the floor? Could it be something else?
Is there anything I can do without a "big dig"??
I'm fairly brand new at this game!!
Thanks

Thanks jondeau[/quote] :? I wonder is there anything I can add to the attic tank that will seal a minor leak or seepage underground (its GB piping),,magic potion!! ??
The other possibility is a badly designed system drawing air in or muck in the system (sludge in a system actually causes hydrogen production). If you've got an open-vented CH system, there'll be a little header tank (most likely in the loft) feeding the system. Isolate the water supply to this tank (by tying up the ballvalve) and mark the water level. Check it again a few days later. If it's dropped - hey presto, you've got a leak. If it hasn't, you've probably got muck problems.
