Hi all,
We have a solar hot water panel and one of the pipes coming from it seems to be leaking an oil-like substance, presumably thermal transfer fluid. The pressure gauge is showing zero bar, so once it's fixed it will likely need topped up.
The leak is coming from a specific joint in the pipework, where the flexible pipe meets the fixed pipework.
My query is, is this something that's easy enough to fix, or does it need specialist attention? I had a quote from the installers (Kingspan) and they wanted £250+ just to attend - crazy!
Any advice appreciated!
