Hi,
I recently bought a flat and originally the boiler leaked from the flu on the outside.It is a 1 year old glowworm combi.
Now I have to fill it up manually about every two weeks.It starts at 1.5 bar when full and after about 12 days it is now on 0.5 bar.
I originally had a plumber out to look at it and solved the leaking flu outside but I am now losing pressure.
Obviously there is a leak which could be anywhere(under the floorboards etc).
I also have had a light wet wood smell when i enter the flat which has been here for the last 5 months.
Its not really bad but is noticeable.
I'm getting the plumber out again.
Does anyone know how much of a leak in this sort of loss of pressure would be?(a cupful a day or a pint or what?)and could this cause this smell?
Also before the plumber comes is there anything I can do to help him diagnose?(I don't seem to have any leaking radiator valves).
Thanks,
Chris
