Boiler boffins, why is there a very slow drip coming from this location on my Main Combi Eco 30?

Yep, leak from above - time to call someone out as you're not allowed to remove the cover to get access to it as that is part of the Gas Safe only bit
 
Urg. I knew this would happen after I had someone move a radiator! (OK probably unrelated but I can whinge can't I?)

When the payer chose a cheaper contract style boiler they should have been advised that it may not be as reliable as a more expensive boiler.

It is my view that the design of the water seals on that model are a seriously poor design.

I had to replace some recently for a landlord and I was not really expecting the seals to hold but they did. I tiptoed out!
 
Looking again I think the offending area is connected to the expansion vessel. I have reduced the pressure and it has slowed the drip to almost nothing.
