Generally speaking, is an older leaking boiler terminal?

Options
We have an older Vaillant boiler ans we know parts for it are becoming obsolete.
We have noticed that we were topping up the pressure more regualrly recently and spotted a small leak from under the main boiler
We wiil get this checked out but in your experience are leaks like this repairable?

Thanks for any advice

    It depends what's leaking. Until a heating engineer identifies it, it's hard to say.

    Everything is fixable if you can find the parts.


    There's a chance it's just a worn out seal but if it's anything major then it may be time to bite the bullet and have it replaced.


    It's at an age where you could keep spending hundreds on repairs when it's more viable to just replace it.
