First post, did a search and got some similar results but don't want to chance anything with this...
OK. I've got a really old Vaillant Boiler..
The picture(s) attached show the boiler in all its glory (/sarcasm)
Now. The black thingy in the second picture shows what is actually leaking. However, don't be fooled by the dried up stains on the outside, it's actually leaking at the bottom of the black cyliders, closest to the front of the boiler. You can see 4 screws running along the bottom of the "black thingies", above the inside screw there is a hole that the water is gushing out of, at a measured rate of 1 litre every hour and 30 minutes.
My question is this;
1. What type of flippin' boiler is it?
2. Is this black cylinder expensive / easy to replace
3. Anything to consider when replacing it?
Thanks for any help offered..

Just a reference of piping underneath boiler
