Got a leak...

[dabomb3k]

Hi guys, I have an Apollo Poterton boiler and its got a leak that is causing my pressure to drop slowly over time, I'm not sure what but it is, I think it's the pump, I have attached pics and was hoping someone could give me an idea of what may be involved..

As you can see that the leak is coming from that bottom round black plastic unit where I've or the sponge to soak up the drip as a really short term thing

Thanks in advance for any help

That bottom part is the diverter valve motor, and the pump is labelled Wilo.
The leak could be anywhere and would only be a guess as to where it's coming from. Would need to have someone on site who could do a bit of dismantling.

I can see that the leak is coming out from where the diverted motor is connected, I'm happy to dive in and dismantle that bit as long as it's water and not gas

You could but you would need some materials and a bit of luck I suppose.

I wouldn't mess with boilers if you don't know what Your doing.
I won't cost much to do by professional, if something goes wrong you can call him back. For the price it's not worth it
