The invention relates to a method for detecting a water leak in a metallurgical melting furnace. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method. A water leak in a cooling pipe or water pipe of a furnace vessel is detected by combining and correlating a time-resolved measurement of an exhaust gas parameter, such as the amount of water, at the exhaust gas outlet and a controlled pressure fluctuation, i.e. a variation in the pressure, of the cooling circuit. In the event of a leak, the variation in the water pressure causes a variation in the amount of water discharged into the furnace vessel, that is temporally correlated with the variation in the pressure of the cooling circuit. By determining the correlation of these signals, an evaluation device can determine a relationship based on a water leak.
