Hello again. I am hoping someone can give me some advice, please.
I have a Vaillant Turbomax that is now 10 years old. In the last couple of weeks I noticed water accumulating on my worktop and at first thought it was from over-filling the kettle, but it became obvious it must be coming from the boiler, but I can't see where. I have put a rolled-up towel underneath and it takes about 24 hours for it to be soaked through. The pictures show an accumulation of water after about three hours. The water seems to be coming from the right-hand side of the boiler but when I feel the base plate (?) it is dry. I have noticed the pressure slowly dropping but I keep topping up.
In April 2008 I had a replacement diverter valve. And last month a replacement (downstairs extension) bathroom radiator, during which the men *overrode" the boiler. Would either of these have anything to do with what is happening?
I am an OAP and can ill afford expensive repairs, can anyone have an educated guess as to what might be wrong? And how much it might cost to put right?
