Morning guys, I've got a leak and I've traced it to the pipe that’s leaving my boiler which connects onto the same waste pipe as the sink and then into the stack pipe.
It’s a connector half way down the flexi pipe that the leak is coming from and I can see it’s all manky, so it just looks like I need to disconnect it, give it a good clean up, seal and reconnect…or just change the pipe from boiler to waste pipe removing the middle connection altogether.. however, what I don’t know about is - how much water is going through that pipe? When I disconnect it, is it going to be a few drips or be like turning a tap on?

Yes, I have bodged and stuck some tape on over the connector just to see if that slows it down whilst I can properly fix..

Any help is much appreciated!
