To be honest without seeing could be any of them things but I would suggest you don't use it till you get it looked at it's dangerous mate

Got to agree with Gray0689 turn off and get local OFTEC guy out asap

Could be an oil leak. If you remove the front panel of the boiler and check the floor there might be a puddle of oil. If so, it's best to turn the oil off if it's becoming too unbearable.

Thanks for you reply.

I have already had an oftec guy look at the boiler he thought it was the seal on the lidt hat is why we changed the seal.

There are no visible oil leaks .

Thanks

Suggest you try someone else. The OFTEC website gives a list of technicians near you.
