Help please -Boiler Leak (Ideal Logic Heat18)

[Hman34]

I have a boiler leak and would be grateful for advice please.
Model: Ideal Logic Heat 18

Boiler is leaking about a cup per week.. removing the cabinet reveals white solid deposits around a pipe at bottom (condenser?). Photos attached. There's also brown staining at the bottom of the cabinet.
Thank you in advance

Edit: also noticed a drop of water at mouth of pipe above boiler to right (red arrow in photo).

Put the cover back on as this is a gas safe engineer/competent person job. The red arrow one might just need the drain off tightening.

........................................walk away from the boiler. (after you have put the cover back on)

Gas engineer only please.

As Novice has said, you should not have removed the cover from your boiler. It forms the safety room seal, and should only be removed and refitted by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. The boiler should be turned off and not operated again until such a person has carried out the Regulation 26.9 safety checks, which it might fail on yours as that white staining is evidence of products of combustion leaking into the casing, possibly due to a cracked sump - a common problem on these boilers
