    I have attached a picture of a small bit of rust I have found on the pipe into my radiator in my kitchen.

    Is this something serious, should I get a plumper?

    Could be an old leak that sealed itself.

    Does it leak when the radiator is cold?

    I have never had a leak but when I found it tonight there was a tiny dried in redish water drop roughly under where the valve is.

    I can check in the morning when it's completely cold to see if there is any leak

    So I checked the radiator this morning when it was stone cold and there was no leak or any sign of water drips
