Hi,
I have a potterton boiler, about 4 years old. It has an outflow pipe (hopefully the right name) that goes from the boiler to outside. It's always leaking a small amount of water - a constant slow stream of water.
I am not sure if this is normal, or what I could do to reduce it. The pipe comes out right at the bottom of my entry steps, and so there is a constant wet area, and its starting to stain the wall in a very unsightly way.
The pressure in the boiler does slowly reduce over time, but we can easily top this up.
Anyway, can anyone give a quick diagnosis? I can call out british gas under my service contract, but I always like to have an idea of what might be wrong before I speak to people.
Thanks
