Went to an oil leak today on a Camray 5 combi. Was there in January, pump leaking, no new pump on van so repaired. So was expecting that my repair had failed, so made sure I had a pump before going.
Walked through the door and you could smell what I thought was oil. Opened it up and absolutely bone dry, no oil, no dampness absolutely nothing. Pulled the rdb burner again no oil. Burner back in and sparked it up. Ran for about 5 mins until went off on stat, still no oil leak. Then I notice smoke coming out of the top, not a lot but it stunk, smelt like burning glass fibre which smelt almost like oil. So pulled the side panel to find source of smoke. The smoke was coming from the bottom outside corner of the heat store from between the store and the insulation.
Can't get in anymore without pulling the boiler, anybody any ideas or suggestions?
