Combi boiler leaking but not losing pressure

edamburger

Long story but combi boiler wasn't giving me hot water so the diaphragm was replaced(covered by British Gas service). Later that day the water AND the heating wouldn't work AND there was a small leak from the bottom of the boiler.

Next day the heating and water was working fine - but the leak remained. Called BG back out and the guy checks all pipes and says they are fine and that it is just residual water laying in the boiler from when the diaphragm was fitted. He says it'll drip out and dry up and be fine - well 3 days later it's still leaking. The pressure is fine though. Although I've had trouble once getting hot water.

Any ideas? Should I be patient, or give them another call?

Majorly stressed and paranoid about it all as I've just sold my house so not wanting any problems.

If its still dripping and your sure its more that residual water then yes, give BG another call.

If the pressure is not dropping, then it must be on a hot or cold pipe/connection on the domestic side.

I expect it needs a powerflush

Thanks guys, will give it till tomorrow and then call BG if it's not dried up.
Seriously- I should be worrying about other stuff at the moment and not dripping boilers....!
