Worcester Boiler Leaking, no pressure

[garreh]

[FONT=&quot]After re-pressurising the boiler to 1psi and attempting to remove the filling key the boiler started dripping from either side of the filling loop - I had to wriggle the key quite a bit to get it to come out, which may have caused strain on either side and caused something to come loose.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]In the pictures you can see the main leak area and secondary leak area. There actually looks to be some kind of silicone or paste around the second leak area - possibly a previous attempt to fix with some sealant?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Tried tightening the grey nob to make sure water is shut off completely - it's fully closed.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]At the moment got no pressure and it's turned off. Is it safe to use the boiler with just hot water (no rads) with no pressure, or should I keep it off? Any ideas for fixing it?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Boiler Type: Worcester 26CDi

Well, the boiler was on 0.2 psi before I starting pressuring it - didn't want to run the system on such a low pressure. Filling key has definitely caused a lot of trouble for 1 psi though :/
