I did mate. That was what confirmed it. I was just more concerned with why it could be smelt in the room

Coming out/filtering through the air tube is the only way unless broken/ damaged burner gasket
 
Was a weird one mate put the sniffer all round the case after letting the air clear. Not a jot. All seems fine now though

Boilers are weird sometimes :D but least you sorted it
 
Just re read my posting and what I meant to say was if it was letting by on gas valve but you could not detect it with leak fluid/sniffer. This is the problem I encountered I could not find the leak even when Disconnecting from top of gas valve but was after the isolation of boiler so not on pipework and no smell whatsoever of gas, so what I'm saying is, it was all most certainly the gas valve but I couldn't prove that. Changed valve problem solved. But Technically could have let it go under the 4/8mb drop allowance on appliance with no smell of gas
