A few weeks ago I asked about pressure loss on my oil boiler and central heating, and decided to isolate the flow and return with lever valves, so I could eliminate it being a leak somewhere on the radiator circuit. After much difficult work in confined spaces, and a few messy solder joints, I have fitted the valves and discovered that the Boiler is dropping pressure. It drops from 1.0 bar to zero in about an hour.
I am mighty relieved to discover I don't have a leak in my radiator circuit, but where could the water be escaping? I can see if I get down on my hands and knees and shine a torch in, that there is water collecting in the bottom and a drip at the back near the heat slave tank. That shouldn't affect the heating circuit though should it?
Got a Worcester Bosch engineer coming tomorrow to service the boiler and hopefully find the fault, but I'm interested to know where the leak could be.
