Hi
Our oil ran out as a result of a faulty remote gauge. Got the tank refilled and bled the air as I have done before using the hex head bleed bolt/pressure gauge connector. As usual, the oil pump pressure adjustment screw wasn't touched.
However, despite the boiler firing up and running as normal, there is a steady drip of oil from the pressure adjustment screw - both when the boiler is firing and when it is switched off. I've had to turn off the oil at the shut-off valve until this is resolved and it's getting a bit nippy.
The boiler is an Potterton Statesman Flowsure + and the burner unit is a Riello G5BF. The burner parts list doesn't show any seals for the pressure adjustment and I obviously don't want to unscrew it to check.
Any one have any ideas?
TIA
