worcester 24i small leak

[Haydn2112]

Hoping someone can help me please.
My combi boiler, worcester 24i, has a small leak from the small coil that runs to the pressure gauge dial. This is under pressure. I have lowered the pressure to avoid a small waterfall, any suggestions on a DIY fix?
Thank you

Can you see the leaking place on the tube?

If so remove all pressure, clean tube with fine emery paper and wrap with a spiral of copper wire and then apply epoxy resin to the spiral and leave to set before repressurising.

Might work if done well.

Or buy a new gauge!

Ok thanks, is it fairly straight forward to fit the gauge ? it looks like it is.

I would say it is but that's the kind of thing that I do!
