Boiler leak issue driving me up the wall

[CXR100]

empty the system of all the water............ the fill it all with roundup , if all the grass outisde dies then start digging!! haha only joking, how much leak sealer did you use? id imagine that a system that big would require a few literes!!

it would be cheaper to employ a Chinese man who would top up the pressure once a day.

i put in 2 bottles so 2 litres of sentinel. Leaks too big for it though, me saying it's once a day it needs topped up it's more like once every 5hrs they just need it on for that long so don't notice it's down until following day. I'm going on Monday night to blank off pipework under boiler then pressure test to 100% rule out the boiler, if pressures stays good it has to be under the concrete at which point we will need to get the diggers in

What's the problem with Chinese people !!! Don't forget they will rule the world soon

can you not just run new pipework between boiler house and the church?

Churches are notoriously tight, even tighter than us Scots(supposedly )

is it a condencing boiler. cos if it is isolate the boiler itself and see if the pressure drops. possibly pin holed main hex going down condence line.

Had this 3 or 4 times and has caught me out with green star Worcesters. Cap flow/return see if pressure holds.

Ok this was sometime ago but thought I would just give quick update as I was on here. I ended up after trying every single other bloody thing cutting the tar out and digging a track between the hall and the church. Found the old pipework, cut into it and fed new hep through and into church and boiler house, connected up, come back the next day and pressure was solid. Got company to re tar and the job was success, so somewhere under ground there was a leak. Thanks for all help at the time of this going on
