I have an Ideal c24 mini combi, approx 8 years old, that is leaking hot water from the overlow (pressure relief valve) pipe outside - I estimate approx 1 lite per minute.
The pressure on the guage was reading maximum at 3.5-4 bar so I assumed somebody must have opened the filling loop too much and let water in by accident. So, I swithched the boiler off and opened the drain cock and let water out of the rads until the pressure dropped to 1.5 bar. When I switched the boiler back on the pressure started building-up again to the max 4 bar and the leak started again. What is going on?
The heating is working fine but I am worried. Any ideas?
