Well I turned my front and rear spickets on last week. So I went into the furnace room and utility room and noticed some water. Well it seems both were leaking around the bleeder screw. I shut everything off and dryed off everything. For both I did the winter drain procedure again and took off the bleeder screw completely, screwed it back on real tight. Anyway the rear seems ok, no water signs (but I'm gonna watch it) and the front I'm gonna leave for a few days tolet it dry out and do the same there. If in fact either of them do leak do I just need to replace the bleeder screw or something? They are part of the metal valve assembly but I have the horrid poly pipes in my house. The bleeder has nothing to do with the poly pipes so I can't blame them if it is a leak.
