Central heating leaks?

    If I have to bleed a radiator from time to time does this indicate that there may be a leak in the system. This may happen about twice a year. the quantity of air is never significant,just enough to prevent the radiator from heating properly. Furthermore there is some verdigris on some of the pipes in the bathroom and another radiator downstairs. Is there value in injecting Fernox leak sealer into the system. Are there down sides to this exercise? Comments and advice welcome

    Don't use leak sealer ,until you know whats wrong with your system.
    I've never touched the stuff and probably never will ,best to find out what is causing the problem.
    If the water in your heating system is very black ,when you vent. Then you may need to have someone check your heating system ,for other problems.
