If you have a leak under the floor you may find that your house insurance will pay for the floor to be lifted & replaced but not for the repair of the leak, can you fit iso valves to the flow & ret where the pipes go under the floor, if this section of pipework is isolated & the leak stops then you will be certain thats were it is & have to bite the bullet, as argile says I wouldn't recommend leak sealer on a new boiler.
Day 2 and the system is still fully pressurised! Touch wood, the problem has fixed itself. Whether it be the leak sealer or draining the system and refilling it perhaps rebedded the joint and leak.
Probably untrue, but last night I was thinking about the consequences of your warnigns not to use the leak sealer in a new boiler and the worst that could happen is the boiler or some parts need replacement. A lot cheaper than liftin gall of the flooring and replacing parts etc.
Anyways, I guess the outcome of this post is that the internal leak sealer does appear to do what it says on the bottle. The knock on effects - I cannot comment on..
Thanks to all.

Hi Macadonald,
I am also going through similar condition. Just to check your memory, how long did the sealant hold on?
I am sure, you are now the best experience guy to get a review of using sealant in central heating system
. Did it harmed the boiler?

instead of adding on to a six year old post you would be better starting a new one and no leak sealer on a modern boiler is a very bad idea
