Alpha CD35C Boiler Slight Leak

[Chris-Newcastle]

I'd be grateful for any advice:
I have an Alpha CD35C installed in the garage. I've noticed that when it is very cold overnight there is a small amount of water on a worktop under the boiler. The water seems to be coming from a small hole in the underside of the casing on the right-hand side of the boiler next to a small earthing strap. The hole looks as if it is meant to be there. It does seem to be that the colder it gets, the more water there is, but it is generally just a few drops.
I've looked inside the case but can't see any obvious place where the leak is from. I was wonder if it might be condensation but it seems too much for that.
Thank you.

I severely doubt it's condensation mate, best to get a Gas Safe engineer in to have a proper inspection of it

It will need a visit from a GSR engineer as it's leaking from the inside,

It will be better with a nice new boiler

Unusual to have a leak on a alpha

Had this where the metal condense pipe leaks, common fault apparently & a real arse to change.

They did a warranty update for that iirc.

The markII bucket? Bigger capacity :smile:

Hole in the bottom, everlasting bucket.

No metal condense on this model was on the previous model with the metal condense pipe.

Thanks for the replies so far everyone, I will get a Gas Safe technician to have a look - I was just trying to understand in advance what might be going on as I'm new to condensing boilers - only been in the house a few months. Thanks again.

Metal condensate pipe? I thought they were plastic

Some Early condensers had metal in, usually tactically located above something electrical!
