Furnaces have a life expectancy. They are not W126 type critters.

Thanx Frank ~ I do have them now.... .

I try to remember to change the batteries every January .

My point was to illustrate that an old furnace should be closely inspected from time to time .

I'd have expected someone here to know this HVAC stuff, I certainly don't but have met many who tell me once you know it's it's neither difficult nor $pendy .

OK, the leak was the line going out to the gas powered security light pole on the front lawn. Since I'm not using the light, the gas company capped off the line and all is well with the exception of a small leak from the line going to the pilot light on the gas hot water heater.

Apparently, the brass nut that tightens on the right (stainless steel line) isn't quite tight enough. Is there anything like blue lock tite that I can put on the threads to help stop this miniscule leak? Or, should I simply try to tighten the brass nut? (see photo attached).
