Hole above chimney

[Yavne]

Hello all,

A few days ago I cleaned the chimney, and I noticed a small gap, where chimney connects to the wall.

Is there a need to fix it or we can live with it?

Thank you!

Is that an actual hole or is there just sealant missing?

If you can do a simple airleak test might tell you? Probably okay just to put some high temp sealant around it. Looks like that's what they did anyways.

Thanks guys! I will be at home later today, I will take a look. I think some sealant missing... Should I use Stove & Gasket Cement?
I think I can use the woodstove in the meanwhile, right?
