We have a Wocester Bosch Junior 28i boiler and it's dripping around 5l of water in a 24hr period.
It started many weeks ago when we noticed water dripping in through the ceiling from the attic (Flue goes into attic and out through the roof). Water was dripping out from the flue. I loosened off the housing covering the flue then re-tighten and the dripping stopped. OK at this point I should have called a plumber at this point......
Thought all was well then noticed the other day in the cupboard where the boiler is that the spare bedding and towels in there were soaking and loads of water is dripping out the bottom of the boiler.
Done a few checks and water isn't actually being disposed of through the waste pipe from the boiler.
A plumber is coming to look at it but might not be for a few days.
Is it safe to leave it running while it's dripping so much? I switch it off at night but leave it on in the day so we have hot water!
Any ideas of what it might be?
Thanks
