Yup. 
 

It’s doing an automatic “purge” of the air. 
 

One of WB more annoying features as when we were all tired and fed up after fitting the bastard things we had to wait for “it” to “decide” when we could go home lol. 
 

Sit and wait. Won’t be long !

    When the pressure is zero on the boiler gauge, the system and radiators will still be nearly 100% full, if they are not on the next floor up above the boiler.   You need to drain down the ra

Don't forget to wait a few days to be sure, then add the inhibitor chemical (Fernox F1) for protection.

Yes, plan to add this weekend, actually I only removed half of the water from the system since the group floor water was locked inside the radiator, do I still need the to be added? Since before the leaking has probably have all water replaced by the fresh water

Absolutely yes add inhibitor - without it (in the absence of properly conditioned water which on a sealed system is the alternative) you can quickly get corrosion in the system - bad for rads, pump and boiler
