Hi all
I have a HW cylinder that leaks slightly from where the immersion element is screwed into the cylinder. It can go several days and not leak, then this morning for example there's 200ml of water in the tub I've placed underneath it. Couple of plumbers had a look and loathe to touch it in case the element breaks in situ. Baffling.
I am on a sealed system, my question is would this leak - when it occurs - be responsible for the drop in boiler pressure of 0.1bar-0.2bar? I have no visible leaks from any pipework.
Regards
