I have water leaking from my furnace and I am not sure if I will need a new one or not. Do I have to take the whole cover off to see where it is leaking from and if I do what can I use to fix the leak ?


You just have to take the cover off of where the leak is so you can
see it.

I never saw a furnace leak water. Do you mean a boiler? Furnaces
heat air, boilers heat water.

Not knowing what you have, it is difficult to diagnose the problem. It
may or may not be repairable. If it is 15 or more years old, it is
probably smarter to replace it with something more efficient rather
than throw money and more money at the old one.


How much is the leak? alot or a little trickle?. Could it just be the
condensate from a modern furnance and maybe the pump or the drain line
is plugged?
