No ideas anyone, then? :(

1. Drain header tank then measure the quantity of water pushed up into it. 2. See how much water gets sucked up the vent pipe from a container, after the air has pushed out of the pipe.(Approximate, but give me an idea of how much.) And your explanation for the water going up the pipes on...

No apparent leaks anywhere, and it's all very clean. Unfortunately, the house has solid floors downstairs, so checking for a leak 'under the floorboards' is not an easy job! Upstairs there shows no signs of leakage, at least, the downstairs ceilings show no signs. Header tank valve was...
