While relighting my boiler's pilot I noticed the pilot gas valve is dripping some type of fluid onto the floor under the valve.
I upgraded my 1964 natural gas hot water boiler to a standing pilot gas valve last winter. Within the last couple of weeks I've had to relight the pilot light 3 times. This fluid is clear, has no odor, and does not seem to be oily.
Does a standing pilot gas valve contain fluid?
I first thought this to be condensation. I found nothing on any of the gas lines, to or from the pilot gas valve.
I know this is a plumbing forum. But, I'm just fishin.
