Leak.....(help)

[coggers1980]

Evening,

Can anyone advise what this is called, what it does etc and why it might all of a sudden be leaking water/air.

We have a Megaflo system, that has been working the 12 months I've lived here

Granted I have no idea what is what.....

Thanks and maybe get it sorted before the wife finds out.....

It's an air vent. Is it leaking where it joins the pipe ,or from around the screw ?

It's coming from those smalls holes, mix of air and water.

Is the screw loose ? If it is, tighten it. If it's tight ,loosen a little ( hold a cloth around it) then tighten it.
After 12 months the unvented cylinder is due a service , arrange one and ask engineer to sort it permanently.

Cheers. It's as tight as I can get it. I'll look to replace it.
