Greenstar 24RI water leaking out of boiler

[phillyshaw]

hello,
a problem today with a greenstar 24ri heat only boiler.
Woke up to no heating or hot water, the boiler had locked out and water was pouring out from inside the casing.
Removed boiler cover and water was leaking from top of heat exchanger, air/gas manifold and fan.
The condensate siphon was totally blocked with sludge and had back filled into the boiler parts.
Removed condensate siphon and cleaned the debris out.
Replaced condensate siphon which then began to fill back up immediatley with water and then discharge down the condensate pipe. (Boiler not on) This process did not stop.
Is there likely to be a pin hole leak in the heat exchanger causing water to leak into the sump and fill up the siphon continuously.
Any ideas welcome
Phil

Are you Gas Safe Registered? If so give @Lou a message and she will sort you out with a GSR badge. If not. You should not be taking the case off the boiler or stripping out such parts as the condense trap.
