Leaking Bleed Valve

[spirit20]

Hi all,

I’ve noticed a small leak coming from the bleed valve in a radiator. Upon checking, the area seems fairly corroded with a noticeable crack. Is there any easy fix or does the whole thing need to be replaced? Any advise greatly received!

These often go a bit manky with the expansion / contraction. Might be worth checking it's tight, although it's an easy job to replace if there's a valve on the in and the out of the radiator.

Might be worth replacing it with automatic vent, (Aladdin) I didn't all of mine 10 years ago, never vented a radiator since.
