Hi All. I have an external condensation pipe that was leaking in 2 different point. One seemed to be a cracked tube, the other leaking point was where the small pipe goes into the big one. I thought it was very smart to seal the leaking point. Is that correct or water should be let leaked out? I will attach some pictures

In the photo, it looks as if there is a crack in the elbow. That needs to be repaired. Possibly, it has had water backed up in it, has frozen, and split.
It shouldn't need to be sealed into the larger pipe, the larger pipe should be free draining. If not, you need to work out why. Possibly, it is blocked, and water backing up, explains why the elbow has split.
How cold does it get where you live?
Consider it this way - if it’s going to freeze, it will freeze on the coldest night of the winter … which is exactly when you want the heating to be working.
South UK, Brighton Area. It goes below zero but i understand what u mean. Ill get it sorted soon. In summer it should be okay
