Drips of water from bottom of baxi boiler

[Links2]

Evening all,

Noticed that our boiler seems to be dripping from the bottom of the boiler itself. It’s a baxi boiler that was in when we moved in and looks very old.

We’ve noticed it leaks sometimes when boiler is on and sometimes when it’s off it can go a while though we no leaking at all.

Another thing it tends to do is the pressure drops to zero whenever we turn the heating off ???

Any help or advice would be awesome

What make/model of Baxi, they made 1 or 2 in years gone by. Is it the boiler, or white pipe? Any photo of the drips? Pressure dropping to zero sound like an expansion related issue.

If your pressure is dropping and your boiler is dripping , then you have a leak on the primary water system inside the boiler could be just a joint needing tightened could be many things, get it sorted sooner rather than later, constant topping up damages the boiler internals and the water sitting inside the boiler before dripping does the boiler casing no favours either
