This indicates sludge or sediment build-up. The system may require flushing, or the radiator may need to be drained and cleaned internally. Consult a heating professional.
Leaking from connections
Ensure all pipe connections are securely tightened. Check the integrity of the valve connections and any compression fittings. If leaks persist, contact a qualified installer.
