Hi, 2 days ago I noticed my pressure was low on the boiler so topped it up to 1.5 bar, at the same time I noticed it making a a 'gurgling' noise, not sure how long its been like this as its located in the garage, however the boiler was still working and the blue light was not flashing.
I did some googling and found that the cause was a frozen condensate pipe (its located outside and only 22mm with no lagging), anyway I defrosted it and insulated it which stopped the gurgling noise and on the face of it the boiler appears to be working.
However I noticed that a constant drip now appears to be coming from the condensate pipe so before leaving for work at 0600 today I placed a jug under the pipe, I've just got home and found almost a pint of water has been lost although the pressure on the boiler remains at around 1.5 bar.
I emailed worcester and they suggested it could be a faulty heat exchanger but then went onto say it shouldnt fail on a 4 year old boiler?
Any ideas?
Thanks
