Worcester Bosch leaking condensate

[bsr]

I have a Greenstar 30CDI. There is a slow leak which appears to be condendate leaking where the discharge hose from the boiler connects to the plastic discharge pipe.

Any recommendations on how to stop this? I've tried pushing it in harder! I have some Geocel Plumba Joint and could give the joint a smear?

Anyone?

Not sure where you mean, is it where the pipe from the boiler condensate trap connects to the hard plastic waste run?

A pic would help

Yep exactly that point.

Has the condensate pipe just been pushed onto the rigid plastic pipe? Is it flexible? Ideally there would be a proper tundish transition from one pipe to the other, that has proper couplings on it.

Ideally you would have an engineer in to sort it as it can be classed as part of the flue system depending on where on the run it is.

In the end the plumba joint worked a treat and is non setting in case I need to remove it. This joint is is at the boundary of the boiler. Worcester provide a fitting that is supposed to be a push fit but in my experience (two boilers) it doesn't seal properly.
