Boiler leaking

[jifdave]

Hi,
My boiler has sprung a leak. I've opened up the outer cover then taken off the inner silver cover.

The leak appears to be coming from the top of a copper pipe running up the left hand side.

I'll link a picture. Any help appreciated and thank you in advance.

I would reccomened that you turn the boiler off and call a gas safe eng in the morning.

Whats your location. Maybe there is a local one on here to help you

I'm in Rochester, Kent. Luckily I rent so will call the landlord in the morning. Is there a better description of the leak I have.

no we cant see your link and you should not be taking a boiler apart

why are you taking the boiler apart ?? get the landlord out its his/hers duty to get it fixed not yours.

is the leak that bad?

 

[jifdave]

It stopped leaking as it ran out of pressure. I used the induction loop to repressurise and it has leaked since and lost about 1 bar in an hour.

sounds like your expansion vessel may be gone also, this type of leak is typical sign of expanison problems, get your landlord to get an engineer out to repiar
