Hi all,

I am a new member, I hope the experts here can help. About three days ago my boiler turndish started leaking leading to outside via copper pipe (about a drip a minute) and looking pretty wet outside. This is the first time that it has done this and I am looking for a remedy.

I have read quiet a lot on here including the FAQ page regarding charging the expansion vessel on the heating system via the car tyre type inlet so I have got the manual out and ventured to look inside my boiler to find that the charging car tyre inlet is located on to of the DHW expansion vessel (not the red vessel but a white one), this boiler has got a storage vessel of 45L.

Is my diagnostic correct in saying that charging is needed, if this is so, is this done via the DHW expansion vessel and in this case do I need to drain the storage vessel to undertake this or do I still drain the heating system.

This is the manual for my boiler:

Many thanks for all your help.
