Remeha Avanta 24S System Boiler Leaking

I have a Remeha Avanta 24S System Boiler which is two years old. I have noticed that it is making a popping noise and there was small leak. Last night I topped it beyond 1 bar, this evening now it is below 1 bar.

However, it is still functioning and no error code has been displayed.

Please can someone help me.

    You need to find where the leak is.

    As it is 2 years old, it will not have been fitted with a low pressure sensor that will stop the boiler firing if the system pressure drops.

    This is only a fairly recent addition to these boilers and as such will not give a fault code when the pressure drops on new ones. It will just sit there not working.

    When was your boiler last serviced and set up?

    I have topped it up and it lost pressure overnight. The pressure is underneath a bar. The boiler is still working though.

    It is coming from underneath boiler as put some newspaper underneath it. It is not a consistent flow. Could it be the valve underneath it? Should I not be using it?

    It was installed in August 2009. I have not had serviced since then.
