What was found
WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH 17,000 FEET MSL IN ICING CONDITIONS, EXPERIENCED A NR 1 BLEED LEAK MSG & A NR 1 BLEED LEAK CAPSULE LIGHT ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL PANEL. PERFORMED QRH PROCEDURE, WHICH TURNS OFF THE NR 1 BLEED AIR & ISOLATES IT FROM THE ANTI-ICE SYS. ACCORDING TO THE PROCEDURE WE WERE LIMITED & COULD NOT ENTER ICING CONDITIONS BECAUSE WITHOUT NR 1 BLEED WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ANTI-ICE THE STABILIZER. A RETURN WAS NOT POSSIBLE AS THE NORTHEAST WAS REPORTING ICING CONDITIONS & CONTINUING WAS NOT POSSIBLE DUE TO A MUCH HIGHER FUEL BURN CRUISING. WE DECIDED THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION WOULD BE TO DIVERT WHERE ICING WAS NOT AN ISSUE & MX WAS AVAILABLE. A NORMAL LANDING WAS MADE & MX WAS COORDINATED.
