Badly corroded case after leak

[markadams]

Hi,

Just been to repair an Ideal Logic with a water leak, It seems to have been leaking for a long time as the bottom of the case is badly rusted. The leak is caused by a cracked condense sump (common fault). It is the worst corrosion I have seen but it is not rusted through.

As the case is still in-tact I have left the boiler running, I need to go back to repair the leak but I am wondering if I am right to leave it on? Whats your opinion?

As long as it is still solid. You will be ok.

I’m sure he can give it some careful persuasion lol

I once went to an ideal istore too many things were wrong with it they were pretty tight I carefully persuaded the gas valve.
