Hi everyone, I'm a new homeowner and looking for some boiler help.
I noticed today that my potterton titanium 28 boiler wouldn't start due to low pressure. When I opened it up to find out what may be the issues I was a small drip/leak from a plastic screw(?) behind the pump.
I gave the screw/valve thing a turn with a pair of pliers and the drip seemed to stop.
My issue is I don't know if I've solved this issue or if what I've done is a temporary fix that won't last more than a day or two. I'd really appreciate some advice on what may have caused the leak and how to fix it. I had a quick look through some of the boiler manuals but couldn't find any information on it.
I've attached a few pictures of the area where the leak was to hopefully help.
