I have a leak somewhere in the central heating system. It started towards the end of last winter and I did the normal things such as checking the over pressure outlet which was dry so I think its the pipework somewhere.
Over the summer the leak practically stopped (dropped about 0.1 bar every few weeks). But on Sunday/Monday it got much worse and would drop from 1.1 down to about 0.4 in about 8 hours.
I did some intestigating today and checked under the kitchen sink floor where the 25mm pipe (or is it 28mm?) goes to a T fitting and then splits to 3* 10mm for each of the downstairs radiators but it all seems dry.
The pipework is 10mm and has a blue plastic sleve over it. Worse is that the floors downstairs are concrete.
Given the amount of water that was leaking I think it would have to be downstirs or in the pipe running up the wall to upstairs (there is a box section where oviously the normal drainage and sewage runs so I guess water pipes are in that aswell).
Any suggestions what can be done to track down the problem?
Maybe isolating the radiators and then disconnecting the pipework under the sink and pressure testing it somehow?
