Why on gods earth is the pressure in my combi system dropping?!!

I set it to about 1.5 - 1.6 cold, but over the course of a week it will of dropped down to 1 - 1.2. Another week and its even lower.

I know the obvious answer is a leak in the system, but there is no reason for me to believe any of the pipes are leaking. I have checked all the radiators and they are not leaking either. Also the pressure drop is so slow it suggests its not a fault in the plumbing, would you agree??

Are there any parts in the boiler that could be causing this? I have NO knowledge of boilers so dont know what to look for, but i want to know if there is a chance its the boiler before i get a plumber out.

Also, is this a common problem/fault?

There may well be parts inside your boiler causing the pressure loss but as you have not told us the make and model then we cannot say anything further at this stage.

Have you looked under the floor?
