Wondering if anyone can give some help - cut a long story short, boiler losing pressure when heating not on. Have tried a good few options (all the usual suggestions that you would normally suggest) but nothing repaired it. So, before deciding it was definitely a leak somewhere (and given no sign of leak likely underground) we decided to cap off the boiler and pressurise the pipes, with a separate pressure gauge - with the thinking being if no drop then need a new boiler, or if it does drop then a leak. We set it to around 2 bar, and it has dropped slightly to 1.8 over 24 hours, but not as much as I would have thought if it was leak. Anyone have any professional opinions on what they would expect it to drop to if it was a leak?
