Water leak from boiler, beautiful

[dsbuds]

Hi all,

Came into the en-suite where the boiler is to find the floor damp, and a quite regular drip from the bottom of the boiler (Worcester Bosch 30Cdi Combi).

Following the drips up, it would appear that it's leaking from near this plastic piece. If you turn the hot taps on/off you seem to get a little spray by the red arrow, but there also appears to be water in with the yellow arrow, so not sure if it's just flowing down under pressure, or if it's cracked. Turning the cold mains supply off to the boiler stops the leak, so no hot water til Monday.

We previously had a leak from this manifold which turned out to be a washer (and absolutely flooded this room), but I'm guessing that this is probably a bit more terminal as I think it's coming from the plastic itself - the part appears to be about £160.

Guessing this is not a DIY job?

Cheers

If it’s the right hand hydrablock, then not a DIY job

Just curious - what's beautiful about it?

Just curious - what's beautiful about it?

The pure beauty of clear crisp water dripping from the boiler onto a vinyl surface, leaving a beautiful shimmer

It was tongue in cheek and a bit of sarcasm because of finding it freezing bloody cold in socks at 2 in the morning!

OK, got it!
