Following up on this one. It looks like I have two leaks. First, one of the two radiant pex loops in the basement garage, and second, minor water seepage from the automatic air bleeding valve just above the boiler. If I close the two valves going to the supply/return for one of the pex loops...

Thanks for the idea about the heat exchanger. I wasn't even considering that as a possible leak site, though after turning off my OWB circulators and closing valves that isolate the heat exchanger, then isolating the auto-fill valve, I still noticed a decrease in system pressure down to 10psi...

Thank you very much. I will give this a try, I've just tried this, with the system at 15psi and about 192F. After about 8 minutes with the isolating valve off, system pressure dropped to just over 10psi (during which the system cooled by about 10 degrees). I re-opened the valve and within 30...
