We may possibly have a leak underground in our central heating system (trying to find the cause of drop in pressure of our new condensing boiler - see my other post). Any thoughts on or problems with using fernox leak sealer to fix the problem?

Using fernox leak sealer

Apparently they can clog up heat exchangers and eventually cause a blockage. I have never used it but powerflushed a system which the client has used a leak sealer 3 weeks before and had a total blockage.
Hopefully other guys here who have used it can provide more advice. I would say try and replace the pipe section that is leaking if you can.
There maybe a way of adding the sealer with the boiler primaries turmed off.
