Boiler dripping water

ElkyElky

Hi everyone

Have noticed that there is water dripping from a pipe underneath my gas boiler. There has been an occasional drip for some months and I've thought nothing of it but it has increased somewhat over the last few days and I've had to stick a bucket under it to catch the drips. I'm not sure if water is supposed to be dripping out of this area or not? It's clean water.

I unfortunately don't have boiler cover at the moment due to money being tight so can't call someone out although I'm hoping this isn't a major problem. Heating and hot water is still working fine.

Anyone able to shed some light on this?

Thanks

that is on the cold feed into the boiler which in turn is connected to the valve on the left which is the filling loop to top up your central heating pressure, i can't see very well but looking at the valve on the left of the boiler the bit that's leaking just looks like a nut & if that is the case you should be able to turn the cold main off remove that nut wrap aload of ptfe tape around it to form a washer at the nut end & screw it back in, however you do need to check that it's not leaking from above the valve & running down making it look like it's leaking at the bottom. you have also had some leaks on the flow & ret connections as well which is what that green stuff is on the connections onto the boiler.

can you do me a fav & post a closer pic of the valve on the middle pipe in the first pic
