Little background:
Combi boiler that has been needing a ‘top-up’ every two weeks, so I had an idea there was a leak…… No leaking rads, no stains on ceilings, no puddles anywhere.
Noticed the laminate leading to the kitchen had gaps appearing in it….
Oh joy! Looks like the previous owner installed new rads with a greater centre depth than the originals and took the easy way out. It’s leaking from the tee. Water has made it about 30cm up the wall also so I’m guessing it’s been going a while.
Not sure why there is a compression joint hiding in there also.
Now my plan, unless there are better ideas. One of these:

And one of these.
http://www.bhl.co.uk/product/15MM_SPEEDFIT_15MM_PIPE_REPAIR_KIT
In one of these.

Was thinking either a small section of pipe bending from the tee to the rad, or three 90 degree elbows and have pipe coming out of the wall to the rad.
Yes/No/Maybe?
Cheers in advance.
