Hey, I've pulled the house apart. There is no leak in the system . 2 different plumbers who came to service the ideal 30 said it was working fine. I think that there is a leak in the heat exchanger.
Most Internet info about cracked heat exchangers say that there would be signs of water in the boiler or water coming out of condensation pipe when boiler not running. Neither of these symptoms exist.
I saw in a previous post where someone put perfume into the system and could then smell the perfume coming out the flue vent when the boiler was restarted. From what I gathered, this indicates that there was a fault in the heat exchanger which only leaked when hot.
Is anyone able to confirm if this is a possible scenario which can explain loss of pressure & loosing water but no sign of a leak?
