    This morning noticed some dirty rusty water coming from rad. The front of the rad has a bubble almost like a paint nt bubble whivh has burst and its corroded from inside out. This is the second rad to do this in the last year. House about 10 years old. Any ideas?

    Sounds like a leak somewhere else and fresh water is entering the system

    Is your system vented or un vented, ie pressurized with a expansion vessel and if so do you have to top it up regularly or not at all which would imply that it has a
    a auto fill valve.
