I NEED HELP.
THIS MORNING THE RADIATOR IN MY DAUGHTERS ROOM HAD A SMALL PUDDLE OF WATER UNDERNEATH. THE LEAK IS COMING FROM WHERE THE PIPE FROM THE FURNANCE MEETS THE RADIATOR (THE ELBOW WHERE THE INLET VALVE IS)IS A TINY DROP AT A TIME.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I need to know what kind of heating system you have. Based on what you wrote, you either have a steam 1-pipe or 2-pipe system, hot water forced or gravity system. If you need help in determining what kind of system you have, let me know. In most cases, if you are the least bit handy, you can fix this leak.
