Dont know why, but the leak has stopped.
Haven't had to add water for month now.

Could the water be evaporating during low heat demand, and that stopped with colder weather?

More likely sealed itself and probably temporarily. Had two different ones do that. In my experience a small leak will be worse when the stove is hot.

My leak was the isolation flange valve valve body ( pin hole ). i scrape sides and empty ashes alot as they are caustic. Ran the ph and nitrile test today and the pink stayed at 23 drops for more than a minute which means the water is good to go. -4 outside right now. no leaks please. Those valves I noticed were made overseas and you no where.
